The goal of restoring two local
mills to their former glory continues
to pick up steam after a presentation
last week at the Brussels Four Winds
Barn.
David Blaney, president of the
Maitland Mills Association, spoke to
the Huron County Historical Society
on April 17, detailing the history of
the mills and the initiative to restore
them.
The society held its regular
meeting at the Brussels Four Winds
Barn, dealing with its monthly
business before Blaney’s
presentation, which began with a
promotional video produced by Dr.
Chris Cooper, who has worked with
the Municipality of Huron East on a
number of projects.
Blaney told of the history of the
mills and their creation.
In Gorrie, what’s known as the
Maguire Mill was first built by the
Leach brothers, who made their way
to the area via Ireland.
The mill is known as the Maguire
Mill because the Maguire family
was the last owner of the mill before
it closed. However, he told the
dozens in attendance, there was a
history of previous owners before
Maguire took control.
In Gorrie, he said, eight Leach
brothers came to the area in the
1800s and built the mill. They were
also responsible for the mill in
Bluevale.
In Gorrie, the mill became a
meeting place for the community,
hosting Methodist church services,
among other events.
In Brussels, Logan’s Mill is,
again, named after the mill’s last
owner. It was built by the Vanstone
brothers.
The mill would eventually have to
be built a second time after the first
one burned down, Blaney said,
pointing to Brussels’ storied history
of “burning everything down
regularly”. The first mill burned
down in 1871 and was rebuilt soon
after. It would eventually be owned
by several dozen families before it
closed.
Paul Nichol, another member of
the Maitland Mills Association, also
addressed those in attendance at the
meeting, saying that the project has
been in the works, in one form or
another, for over 15 years.
Nichol, who is the general
manager of Community Futures
Huron, said that from his
perspective, he had always viewed
the project as an economic driver for
the community and a tourism draw.
Blaney said the project will need
plenty of help in the coming years,
however, due to the high cost to
restore the mills, there is no firm
timeline on the project.
