Mill City Museum is asking for the public’s support to take the top spot in an online contest to win the title of the Nation’s Best History Museum.
The downtown Minneapolis museum has been named among 20 nominees for a USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award in the category of best history museum for the third consecutive year.

“We are so grateful for all the support we’ve received from Minnesotans in this category,” said Mill City Museum Site Manager David Stevens. “This recognition of the great work our staff does to tell the rich history of Minneapolis is tremendous, and we really feel like this could be our year!”
