A grain mill was operated at this site, between 1829 and about 1832, by Metis leader Cuthbert Grant. It was the first water mill in Western Canada. A working recreation of the mill building was erected at the site in 1974 as part of Winnipeg’s centennial celebrations. Its one-foot thick logs came from Gypsumville and its stones from quarries at Garson. (
