Early waterpowered mill at the Locks, Brunel Road, Brunel Township, Huntsville, Ontario.
Notes
The Locks Mill was constructed in 1871 by John Fetterly who sold it to the Cottrill family in 1907. It closed in 1954 when part of the mill foundation collapsed. It was the longest operating waterpowerd sawmill in Muskoka. After the mill closed, the Department of Public works took over the site, making it into a park.
