The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum, located in downtown Minneapolis.
"To celebrate the debut of Mill City Museum\'s latest History Player, Eva Valesh, the museum offers a day of family programming and activities, including performances by actor Winifred Froelich, who portrays Valesh," the museum said in announcing the event.
"Eva Valesh was a labor writer and orator who was also known as Eva Gay for her series of labor exposes about women workers, which appeared in the Saint Paul Daily Globe in 1888 and 1889. Visitors can enjoy a rousing 15-minute performance once per hour. Family activities will begin at noon, including photo opportunities with a 1950s mill girl, making a paper hat like the ones worn by 1919 flour packers and a museum scavenger hunt."
Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and college students, $4 for children ages 6-17, free for children age 5 and under and MHS members.
