Located in front of the Welland Mills building, the millstone is used for historical purposes to pay homage to what this site use to be. The site use to be home to the second Welland Canal as well as the Mills themselves, which used the canal for power.
This stone, although it may look simple is important to the history of the town. It is made from a portion of the Second Welland Canal System which was important to a lot of settlement in the town, as well as a way to provide well equipped residents with a job.
