Albion Mill
The first mill opened at Albion Falls around 1800. This area was one of the earliest settlements in the Hamilton region. Mills were extremely important to the early, agriculture-based, economy of the area. The presence of the mill at Albion spurred development of the small village of Mount Albion which included blacksmith shops, inns and a general store. In 1907, the owner of the mill, Robert Grassie, was killed in an accident at the mill. The mill was demolished in the spring of 1915.
