Morningstar Mill, Gristmill in St. Catharines, Canada.
The Morningstar Mill contains all original equipment and continues to operate millstones using water power to produce traditional stone-ground flour.
Wilson Morningstar operated the mill from 1883 to 1933, adapting the facility with modern turbines while maintaining traditional milling methods for flour production.
The site features the Morningstar family residence restored to 1932 conditions, displaying period furniture and domestic arrangements from early 20th century Ontario.
The mill remains closed for major restoration work until 2025, though access to the Bruce Trail along the property edge continues.
The mill generated its own electricity for lighting between 1904 and 1914, demonstrating early industrial self-sufficiency in rural Ontario.
