The Martintown Mill is the last remaining mill site
on the Raisin River. Mills were built upstream of Martintown in St.
Andrews West, and downstream at Williamstown, but sadly they have not
survived. A small milling complex was also built nearby on the Beaudette
River and became known as Munroe's Mills, but it was largely destroyed
by fire.
A wealth of historic sites in Eastern Ontario
