I got this view after I learned that the museum is about Chief Sleepy Eye and I noticed that I had cropped his grave marker out of my original view.

I noticed the Rice Street sign. Did the old mill process rice instead of wheat?

I don't see a fall protector and the loading siding is severed. So I doubt if it is rail served. So why is a trackmobile and some hoppers in this town.

I noticed in a satellite image that there are two spouts to a building on the south side. Taking a closer look, there are also small silos so that they can quickly load an 18-wheeler.
