The Old Stone Mill in Delta Ontario is a National Historic Site
showcasing milling technology and 1800s industrial heritage. The mill
was built in 1810 and is one of the finest examples of early industrial
architecture in the region.
A self-guided tour of the mill features interpretive displays, an operating wheel waterwheel, millstones, bolter, grain elevators, and artifacts illustrating the grist milling process
through the years. Artifacts include buhr millstones, 48-inch Swain turbines, roller mills and much more.
During the summer we grind heritage wheat into flour using our 200 year old millstones. A small gift shop provides interesting momentos of your visit, including fresh bread and flour.

The mill stone is turning! After many (many) months of hard work from our staff and volunteers the operating mill stones and bolter were installed in time for our big 200th anniversary celebration in June 2010 (see the celebration photos). We're continuing work to add new features and need your support. See the Mill Restoration Page.
We're grinding every Saturday during the summer season - come out and see how flour used to be made.
Note: grinding is over for 2011 - but we'll be back at it when the mill opens for the 2012 season.
