    This historic building was renovated a few years ago to close to it's original condition. Located on High county road #42 between Westport and Athens. A bit out of the way but a beautiful trip of only about 20 minutes north of Athens. There are stairs but I didn't notice if there is any other access. You can watch grinding of flour and ask questions. There is a little gift shop and information on attractions around the area. The mill is operated by a volunteer association so a donation to enter is always welcome. Great for kids.

    Following a tip, I asked for a guided tour and got a pleasant and informed companion for half an hour. I got a history of grist mill technology and I learned how wheat gets from the farm to the flour bag. The old mill is well maintained and cared for.

    This is one of Ontario's gems, and deserves to be much better known. It has a fascinating history starting in mid-19th century, when life in these parts was "challenging". The structure is massive with some surprisingly sophisticated architectural features. As grist mills go, it was a beauty! The attractive modern displays in the Mill well describe the evolution of the mill through various entrepreneurial owners and changes in technology. Visitors can see much of the original machinery. We were treated to a fascinating tour by the engaging Museum director.

    The location might be a bit out of the way, but for fans of old mills, it is worth the trip.The exhibits are not plentiful, but they are relevant and interesting. A few hands-on displays, and I am told that there are certain days when you can watch the mill in action. Theyalso sell flour on site, and it is excellent, Red Fife flour. All in all, a first-rate site, and great for a family visit.

    While camping in Delta, my family and I took a walk and visited this beautiful old mill. As I had visited this mill a few years before, I was quite impressed with how far the restorations have come. Whoever has been doing the restoration work should be commended - this place looks amazing and is worth the visit to this little village. They now even mill flour here on certain days and this flour is for sale. Up the street there is a cafe that is run by the volunteers of this mill where you can purchase a delicious lunch. The flour used for the bread is milled here and everything is fresh, seasonal and local - we loved it! The cafe is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is apparently the only restaurant left in this pretty town. Delta is worth a trip to see the restored mill!

    I was staying in the Rideau Lakes area for a few days and visited the small town of Delta and the Old Stone Mill. They have done a great job at restoring both the outside and inside of the place both to preserve some of Ontario's past as well as to share it with people today. The inside has many displays of the old equipment used in the milling process, as well as a couple of "hands-on" exhibits for the kids. The mill has three floors, and you are allowed to climb the stairs right to the top floor. Some of the displays show old photos of the town and region, which is interesting in its own right. For anyone with an interest in local history, this place is a must-see.

    A friend and I visited the mill in August 2012. The guides and printed information were very informative. The displays of the workings of the mill were large and easily accessed. The was a notable lack of Canada's second official language. The areas were clean and tidy.

    Delta is worth a trip to see the restored mill. The museum exhibitls are excellent, and give a real feel for the time period. You can do a self guided tour, but the university students who work there over the summer provided an informative and entertaining tour. The mill grinds organic red fife wheat fflour on the weekends, and a local baker makes organic breads with the flour for those who arent inclined to bake their own. A little gift store has unique books about the area and some toys typical of the time period. If it is hot, there is a lovely place to swim behind the mill at the park at Beverly Lake. Bob's Diner on the main street is the only place we found open , and we loved the atmosphere, full of memorabilia! Denault Mansion is a country inn up the road, and looks beautiful from the outside,

    The Old Stone Mill in Delta is a beautiful restored and professionally curated museum. The mill building comprises 3 floors and still has a water sluice-way that runs through the building. Last year they installed original grinding stones and mill flour on the weekends. They're using an historic flour 'Red Fife' which has a very unique and a great taste. After trying their flour I now realize how bland our new flours are these days.On weekends during the summer they mill the flour for visitors to view and this same flour can be purchased on-site, but demand is so high that they normally run out during the weekend.

    In Delta solltest du auf jeden Fall die alte Muehle besuchen.Die Muehle ist nicht mehr in Betrieb, aber es sind noch einige alte Geraete vorhanden. Das ganze historische Gebaeude wir mit sehr viel Muehe und Kosten von einigen Einwohnern gepflegt.
