THE DELTA MILL SOCIETY
 In 1963, the last individual owner of the mill, Hastings Steele, deeded the mill, for the sum of $1.00, to four trustees; Albert Frye, Elizabeth Robinson, Mildred Sweet and Robert Tuck. These trustees in turn became the original founders of The Delta Mill Society. In 1972 the Society was incorporated as a Non-profit Corporation in the Province of Ontario.
The focus of the society has been the preservation of the main building and the creation and operation of the mill as a museum. The mandate of the museum is to "show through exhibits and artifacts, how the grist mill was one of the most important elements when Delta was first settled, and to research the evolution of the communities served by the mill. There will be emphasis on the establishment of the industries of the area, and the changing patterns of economic activity in response to various influences, especially technology, up to 1900."
The society is very active, operating the museum in the summer months, participating in several local events, and in recent years, embarking on a huge mill restoration project.
New members are always welcome. Membership is open to all for $5.00 per year.
