Inscription on a panel on site:

An oatmeal and grist mill occupied this site before Parks Canada purchased it in 1981 and renovated it. It now houses both the offices for Parks Canada and the Rideau Canal Visitor Centre. Opened to the public since 1989, visitors can now view artifacts and displays that depict this flagship interpretation centre for the entire Rideau Canal.
