Originally built in 1830 under Abel Russell Ward, this site has changed faces and owners many times. Throughout the course of its history, it was an oatmeal and grist mill, and then rebuilt in 1887 under the new ownership of Alexander Wood. After nearly a century of production, the mills were closed down under the new ownership of the Waterworks Commission in 1924. Parks Canada bought the infrastructure in 1981, and renovated it. It now houses both the offices for Parks Canada and the Rideau Canal Museum. Opened to the public since 1989, museum visitors can now view artifacts and displays that depict this flagship interpretation centre for the entire Rideau Canal.

Originalement construit en 1830 sous Abel Russell Ward, ce site a changé de faces et de propriétaires de nombreuses fois. Tout au cours de son histoire, ce fut une minoterie pour la farine d'avoine et un moulin à broyer le grain et il fut ensuite reconstruit en 1887 sous la nouvelle propriété d'Alexander Wood. Après près d'un siècle de production, les moulins ont été fermés sous la nouvelle propriété de la Waterworks Commission en 1924. Parcs Canada a acheté l'infrastructure en 1981 et l'a rénovée. Elle abrite maintenant les bureaux de



Parcs Canada et de musée du canal Rideau. Ouverts au public depuis 1989, les visiteurs du musée peuvent maintenant voir les artefacts et expositions qui illustrent ce centre d'interprétation le plus important pour l'ensemble du canal Rideau.
