Friends,
Moving Pillsbury Forward is excited to report that over 150 people toured the former Pillsbury site Friday evening (10/13/23).
The last two scheduled tours for this Fall are Saturday, October 21st at 10:00 am and noon. Our Echoes of Pillsbury exhibit will be open starting at 9:00 am and will remain open until 2:00 pm. It is a well curated exhibit of history and artifacts from the Springfield Pillsbury Plant.
Tours are FREE and open to the public.
As in the Spring, these site tours will be walking tours of the ground floor area of several of our remaining buildings. The guided 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. Cameras are permitted.
Where: 1525 Phillips Ave. (plenty of parking is 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.
