Watson's Mill

Watson's Mill stands on the banks of the Rideau River, featuring original machinery and limestone architecture from the 1860s industrial period.

The mill, established in 1860 by Moss Kent Dickinson and Joseph Merrill Currier, served as a crucial grain processing facility for the local agricultural community.

The mill functions as an educational center where visitors learn about traditional milling methods through demonstrations of grain processing techniques.

Tours of the mill operate from Wednesday through Sunday between September and December, with a suggested donation of 2 dollars per person.

The mill maintains its original water-powered mechanisms, producing stone-ground flour using techniques that date back to the nineteenth century.
