Originally constructed by George Kennedy, the Barber brothers bought the mill in 1837, and named the settlement Georgetown. The current buildings were built in 1853 while the business flourished, and by 1888 the mill added two generators (60hp & 100hp) 3km downstream, and sent power back to the mill on high voltage transmission lines (reputedly the first in Canada to produce hydro-electric power for industrial production). 2004 saw a plan to turn the site into retail shops, but those plans never materialized.
