Message from the Heritage Committee Chair to the community on restoration of the Needler’s Mill

This message is to address the growing concern in our community about restoring the historic Needler’s Mill in Millbrook. As the Chair of the Council Committee on Heritage, I understand the community’s attachment to the Needler’s Mill. The Needler’s Mill is a standing monument that embodies Millbrook’s rich cultural heritage.
In the recent past, Council did a tour of the Needler’s Mill and agreed that it is a priority to address the deteriorating condition of the Needler’s Mill. The Township and the Otonabee Regional Conservation are communicating on the issue. There are ongoing discussions about solutions that can salvage and restore the property.
The Heritage Committee has also strongly recommended that the Cavan Millbrook Historical Society gather community support for strengthening the lobby for restoration of the Mill structure.The Needler’s Mill is a great heritage asset for not only Millbrook and but also this region in the province. The Heritage Committee acknowledges this.
The Committee will endeavor to the best of its ability, with expected community support, to salvage this historical monument.
