WE'RE A QUEEN'S PARK PICK MPP Steve Clark nominated the Old Stone Mill to the Ontario Association of Architects as an outstanding example of Ontario architecture. We were one of 9 sites selected by the OAA to be showcased in 2021. See: www.oaa.on.ca |
The Old Stone Mill in Delta Ontario is a National Historic Site
showcasing milling technology and 1800s industrial heritage. The mill
was built in 1810 and is one of the finest examples of early industrial
architecture in the region.
The mill features interpretive displays, an operating waterwheel, millstones, bolter, grain elevators, and artifacts illustrating the grist milling process through the years. You can tour the mill yourself or enjoy a free guided tour.
During the summer we grind heritage wheat into flour using our 200 year old millstones. Our stone ground flour is available in our small Mill Shop which also offers interesting mementos of your visit.

History of the Old Stone Mill
 The Old Stone Mill is the only surviving pre-1812 stone grist mill in Ontario. Built in 1810, it followed the design of an automatic gristmill created by American inventor Oliver Evans. It has some unique features, including having acted as its own dam. You can learn all about the history of the mill by visiting our History Page (and by visiting the mill to actually see and touch history)
|
The Old Stone Mill and the Old Town Hall are owned and operated by The Delta Mill Society, a self-funded, non-profit organization run by volunteers. Accordingly, we have lots of people to thank for helping us get to where we are today. See our Thanks Page for full details.
