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 gift shop which also offers interesting mementos of your visit.

CLOSED for 2020 May 19, 2020 - the Board of Directors of the Delta Mill Society have made the difficult decision not to open for the 2020 season due to the risk of COVID-19.
We are self-funded and with the loss of revenue due to being closed we are more dependant than ever on donations. This year, in addition to all our regular fixed costs (insurance, utilities, etc.), we also have to replace the leaking roof of our turbine shed. So please consider a donation today |
We are a self-funded, volunteer based organization. Memberships and donations are our life blood. Please consider joining us and/or making a donation today.

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.
