Babcock Mill

The Babcock Mill, a significant local landmark, was constructed in the 19th century as a grist mill and later adapted to function as a sawmill, basket making factory, and a truck body manufacturer. It played a pivotal role in the local economy. Today, under Loyalist Township’s ownership and management, it operates as a seasonal museum, showcasing its industrial heritage.
