Railroad History Walking Tour

The Minnesota Historical Society will conduct a Railroad History Walking Tour, Sunday, Sept. 9, 1-2:45 pm. Beginning with the arrival of Minnesota’s first rail line in 1862, Minneapolis boomed in population, and flour milling, lumber production and warehousing took off. Take a guided tour of railroad landmarks, including the Stone Arch Bridge, Milwaukee Road Depot, and the Minneapolis Eastern Railway engine house and trestle. Along the way, find clues to the vanishing railroad landscape and learn about the future of Twin Cities rail. The cost is $14. Info and tickets: mnhs.org/millcity/activities/calendar/5892.
