The Pillsbury A-Mill was once the largest working mill in the world, and our building was an integral part of its success. State of the art, modern equipment was produced and repaired within these walls. Reopened in 2016, this historic machinery shop has been carefully restored, keeping the original 1916 architectural details intact, while introducing modern luxury in this industrial space. Just as the Pillsbury machine shop was an important player in establishing Minneapolis, Machine Shop Historic Venue is cornerstone for the city of Minneapolis, as a host of extraordinary and glamorous events.
