During the winter of 2000, new exhibits and lighting were installed throughout the mill. The exhibits tell visitors how the process of milling has changed over the years and how those changes affected the mill.
The exhibits are designed to withstand the temperature and humidity extremes in the mill and even the flooding that sometimes affects the first floor.
Special events are held which reflect the heritage of the past. The Mississippi River Valley Scenic Drive takes place in April. The mill becomes the site for music, restored farm equipment and special tours. The bridge is open for vehicular traffic that weekend. There are two special folk music concerts held in June and September, and a Halloween storytelling around a bonfire takes place in October.
