Millbrook, Ontario
Millbrook, Ontario
Millbrook's many streams made this location an ideal mill site. In 1816, John Deyell came from Ireland to build the first mill on the same site where Needler's Mill stands today.
There are more than 45 designated historic buildings in Millbrook -- more per capita than any other Ontario town. Needler's Mill by the pond is the third mill to rest on this site, having been moved here in 1909 from Cedar Valley and restored by a citizens' group in 1982. On the hill above the village sits the majestic Old School, built in 1889 on what is said to have been a native campsite. The old fire hall on Hay Street was built in 1881 and has a rare Tuscan-style tower for drying hoses. It now serves as a museum housing fire fighting equipment, and is open to the public on special occasions.
These are just a few of the heritage buildings worthy of discovery. The entire downtown has changed very little since it was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1875.
