Description
The triple-storey and brick mill was constructed 1870 and owned by land owner and businessman Daniel Connor from this time until 1898. The building operated as a steam-powered flour mill for around 50 years before being converted to a power house in the 1920s.
Today, this museum displays working historic machinery and an interpretative display of the mill's operations and life.
