Caledonia Mill
Caledonia Mill on the Grand River in Caledonia, Haldimand County, Ontario. The original flour mill was built in 1853 by James Little who was the postmaster of Caledonia at the time. It opened as the Balmoral Mill in 1857. It was renamed as the Grand River Mill in 1873 and again as the Caledonia Milling Company in 1892. The mill was water powered into the 1960s. The water turbines are still lurking in the basement. The mill closed its doors in 1975. You can still see the remnants of the mill race as an overgrown ditch on the north side of the mill. Unlike the recent demolition of the Thamesford mill, this mill was saved from demolition by the Ontario Heritage Act. The mill is currently owned and operated by the non-profit Caledonia Old Mill Corporation.
