Share Your Affection for the Grist Mill
For A Chance To Win
One-Of-A-Kind Grist Mill Experience
We often hear from our repeat visitors that the Grist Mill and Gardens historic site is close to their heart.
For some people, parts of the history of this place have a special resonance. For others, it’s the sense of sanctuary that comes from the tranquility of the gardens and grounds, especially after a long hot day of traveling. Sometimes, they’ll mention a performance, a presentation or a meal that just “felt right” or inspired them to try their hand at something new. Many will mention a life event like a wedding, a school field trip, or a family outing. Whatever their personal stories, we’re always left feeling humbled and honoured at the way people speak about this place.
We would love to hear about your personal connection to the Grist Mill and Gardens.
