OTTERVILLE MILL
The Otterville Mill was built in 1845 by Edward Bullock, as a flour and grist mill and was operated by Matthew Maddison. It is situated near the site of the first mill on the Otter River erected in 1807 by John Earl and Paul Avery. Bullock and his sons contributed significantly to the economic prosperity of Otterville. The Bullock mills, which included saw and woollen mills above the present dam, were sold in 1877 to E.M. Schooley and were acquired by Soloman Lossing in 1880. Owned by the Lossing family for 60 years, the grist mill became known in 1812 as Treffrey Mill. It is one of the oldest continually operating water-powered mills in Ontario.
