Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Full Moon Hikes – Chaska, MN

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Full Moon Hikes – Chaska, MN

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum offers multiple opportunities to see the full moon throughout the year! Visit the grounds on the following dates to marvel at the moon and learn more from experts in the field.

February Full Snow Moon: Marvel at the beauty of the full moon during this after-hours snowshoe hike! February’s full moon is known as the Snow Moon due to the heavy snowfall that typically occurs in this season. Before embarking on your moonlit trek, swing by the MacMillan Auditorium for a presentation by Dr. Brian Smoliak with Weathervane Labs on snowfall in Minnesota. Afterward, warm up and roast a marshmallow over the fire with friends.

March Full Worm Moon: In late spring as weather conditions slowly warm, earthworms begin to appear at the soil surface, lending this month’s full moon its evocative name. March weather can still be chilly, so warm up around a bonfire after your hike.

Mill City Museum in Minneapolis again nominated as one of nation’s best museums!

Mill City Museum in Minneapolis again nominated as one of nation’s best museums!

WCCOA historic museum in downtown Minneapolis is in the running for a national honor for the second year in a row.

On Tuesday, the Mill City Museum announced that it is among 20 nominees for USA Today’s 10 Best Rearders’ Choice travel award for the category of best history museum.

Last year, Mill City Museum won fourth place in the same contest.

“We are doubly honored to receive this nomination as we celebrate 20 years of welcoming visitors to Mill City Museum,” Mill City Museum Site Manager David Stevens said in a release. “We are so grateful for all the support received from Minnesotans last year. This recognition of the great work our staff does to tell the rich history of Minneapolis is tremendous.”

The museum is asking for the public’s support in voting in the online contest. You can vote once per day. The contest ends on February 12th

The museum itself is a piece of history, located in the ruins of the Washburn A Mill on the banks of the Mississippi next to St. Anthony Falls.

From 1880 to 1930, Minneapolis was the flour milling capital of the world. But that story — and the building that currently houses it — was almost lost.

“The mill shut down in 1965 and it sat mostly empty for the years after that. In the winter of 1991, the mill was destroyed — or nearly destroyed — by a massive fire,” Stevens told WCCO after last year’s nomination. “Could have been the end of the building, but civic leaders and the head of the historical society decided to save what was left of the mill, preserve it as a ruin, then create a new museum within the shell of the old.”

Today, visitors of all ages can learn about the history of flour, food production and Minneapolis.
