What would happen if the Heart of Manotick stopped beating?
Thousands of Ottawa residents and tourists from around the world have visited and enjoyed Watson’s Mill, affectionately referred to as the Heart of Manotick. This much loved operating gristmill and highly popular historic tourist attraction, is recognized as the only working industrial heritage site within the boundaries of the City of Ottawa. Operated and owned by a local non-profit organization, Watson’s Mill Manotick Inc. (WMMI), the Mill is a vital, unique and irreplaceable part of the region’s history.
In honour of the Mill’s 150th Anniversary in 2010, WMMI is establishing its Heart to Heart Capital Restoration Campaign.
