To get a good feel for why Minneapolis is located where it is (on a river with a waterfall), and to better understand who was living here, and who arrived, stop by this museum. It is right next to the Guthrie, and on the north side of downtown, so you can combine it with a larger tour.

Getting Around

There is a Nice Bike rack about three blocks from my place - on 15th Ave right next to Van Cleve Park. The bikes are available from April to October of each year, and are a great way to see the city at a sane pace.
