Our History
The Dickson Mill in Cambridge, Ontario, is a limestone gristmill built in 1844 to replace a wooden structure lost to fire. Powered by a dam built by Galt founder William Dickson, it once ran a flour mill, sawmill, and wool factory.
After surviving a major flood in 1974, the mill was restored by the Ciancone family in 2008 and transformed into the Cambridge Mill, a riverside restaurant and event venue. Built from locally quarried stone, the building features heart-shaped fossils left by ancient mollusks.
The Cambridge Mill is a striking reminder of Galt’s history and the Grand River, preserving heritage and celebrating the past for all to enjoy.
