Other attractions Mill City Museum  One of the attractions in Minnesota that has kept visitors and residents coming back for more is the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis.  The city’s flour milling industry is historically significant for dominating flour production in the world market for more or less half a century.  The same industry has fueled the city’s growth which is the reason why Minneapolis is more popularly known as the Mill City. The Museum is doubly significant because it is located right in the place where the Washburn A Mill used to stand. Both young and old would be amazed at the Flour Tower which consists of eight floors.   

Fort Snelling           

This historic site in St. Paul is witness to America’s ambition to rule the world starting with the Upper Mississippi Valley. The completion of Fort Snelling in 1825 completely changed the landscape of the place, with the military building sawmills and roads as well as planting all types of agricultural products while they enforced US laws and policies.

Roseville is an interesting to visit and definitely to live in.  The local government support for its residents should offer enough attraction to those whoa re planning to move in to the city.
