Balmoral Grist Mill
I love this old red grist mill in Balmoral Mills, NS, especially when surrounded by autumn colors. My husband and I had a lovely drive last Sunday and I was hoping to get photos of the water cascading down the other side but the gate to the stairway was nailed shut and I would have climbed around and through the fence but there was a wedding party taking photos right beside the gate so I decided to behave. Darn.
The Balmoral Grist Mill Museum is a restored 1874 water powered grist mill and is part of the Nova Scotia Museum system. Alexander MacKay owned this water-powered grist mill in the 1880s. It could be used to grind wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buckwheat into flour and meal. The Scottish oat-drying kiln is unique.
