Friends,
Moving Pillsbury Forward is having one last day of tours for this season. We have had many requests for the daylight historic site tours. Team Pillsbury volunteers have worked hard to get the grounds ready. Tours are FREE and open to the public.
When: Saturday, December 2nd. First tour starts at Noon. Second tour starts at 2:00pm.
Our Echoes of Pillsbury exhibit will be open from 11:00am to 3:00pm. It is a well curated exhibit of history and artifacts from the Springfield Pillsbury Plant. Note: The new C-Mill Art Gallery will also be a part of the guided tour.
As in October, these site tours will be walking tours of the ground floor area of several of our remaining buildings. The guided history tours will last for approximately 45 minutes and cover about a half mile of walking distance. These tours are designed to be accessible for everyone. Sturdy shoes are recommended due to uneven concrete surfaces. Bundle up with a warm coat and bring your camera!
Where: 1525 Phillips Ave. There is plenty of parking available near the south dock entrance at the corner of 16th and Phillips Ave.
Bricks from our recently demolished 1929 Warehouse #4 will be available. Donations will be accepted.
Thanks for being a part of this important community project.
