Backus Mill Heritage and Conservation Centre
- Backus Mill Heritage and Conservation Centre
The Backus Heritage Conservation Area is located in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada. The area contains the Backhouse Mill, a Grist mill that was built in 1798. It was one of the few mills to not be burned during the War of 1812. The mill stayed in operation until 1955 and is now a National Historic Site of Canada.
The conservation area has camping facilities for seasonal campers and those just visiting. This area is full of local history found in the Backhouse Homestead. In September, the area becomes the site of a reenactment of a battle during the War of 1812. [ [http://www.uppercanadianheritage.com/backusmill/ Backus Mill] ]
