Connor's Mill, Heritage museum in Toodyay, Australia.
Connor's Mill is a three-story building that holds original milling machinery and equipment from the 1800s. The structure displays how steam power drove the entire process of converting grain into flour for sale.
The mill was built in 1870 as a working facility for grain processing that served the local agricultural community. Over time the building changed purpose and took on a different role in the town's development.
The mill shows how millers worked in this region for generations, and visitors can see the equipment and techniques that were part of daily grain processing in the local community.
The building is easy to reach and visitors can explore the machinery across different floors. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you will need to climb several flights of stairs to see all parts of the mill.
After years of grain milling, the building was converted into a power station and supplied electricity to the town for many years. This second role in the community is often overlooked by visitors today.
