The Stone Arch Bridge, completed in 1883 by James J. Hill for his Great Northern Railway, is 2,100 feet long with 23 arches of granite and limestone; it was mocked as 'Hill's Folly' until its value as a rail link became clear. It sits directly below St. Anthony Falls, the waterpower that built the district.
Flour milling made Minneapolis famous. The Washburn A Mill exploded on May 2, 1878, in a flour-dust blast that killed 14 workers inside and four more outside and destroyed nearby mills; its ruins now hold the Mill City Museum, opened in 2003, which focuses on milling and the falls.
The Guthrie Theater, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, opened in 2006 and shows how the district has been reinvented as a cultural riverfront. A walking pace suits it, so you can move between ruins, locks and viewpoints without a vehicle.
