Ces 2 meules proviennent du premier moulin de Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu. Ce moulin a été construit en 1753 par Pierre Martel du fief Dubreuil qui a donné naissance au village. Le moulin a été démoli en 1913. Ovila Cordeau a retrouvé les 2 meules en 1950 et il en a fait don à la Fabrique. Les meules sont exposées dans le Parc de la Fabrique depuis ce temps.
