Cream of Barley Mill

The Cream of Barley Mill features a solid brick structure with traditional milling equipment, situated along Bowmanville Creek in Ontario.

John MacKay acquired the Caledonia Mill in 1884 and transformed it into a specialized facility for processing barley into hot cereal products.

The mill represents Ontario's industrial heritage through its preservation of 19th-century grain processing methods and architectural design elements.

Located at 143 Simpson Avenue in Bowmanville, the mill now functions as the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, offering cultural programs.

The facility operated continuously for six days per week, processing trainloads of western Canadian barley into internationally distributed cereal products.
