Canton Mill.jpg

Canton grist mill on the Ganaraska River in Canton, Municipality of Port Hope, Northumberland County, Ontario. The stone insignia says W.H. Kinsman, Canton, 1886 so I assume 1886 was when this building was built. This former mill can still generate its own hydroelectricity from the turbine. It has been converted to office spaces for lease. The dam is hidden behind the trees to the left. Canton is about 10 km north of Port Hope proper on County Road 10. While you are in Canton you can also view the Batterwood House, which was the retirement home of the former Governor General of Canada, Vincent Massey, brother of the actor Raymond Massey and son of the original Massey in Massey Ferguson,
