Nassau Mills – Excavation Day 6 (ON, Canada)

Description

"Have you ever wondered where the name Nassau Mills Road came from? You would never know that Trent University’s Symons Campus was once home to a bustling nineteenth-century industrial cluster, including the Nassau Mill (also known as the Red Mill). The mill operation was a key point of industry in the area, and must have had a large impact on the surrounding settlement. Charles Weld, who published an account of his 1855 vacation tour, visited the mill and recorded his impressions... Today, this formerly nationally-significant historic mill complex and associated structures have almost been erased from memory." (Citation: https://nassaumills.ca/about/ ).
