Watson's Mill and Dickinson House

Nestled in the heart of Manotick Village, Watson's Mill and Dickinson House shares a remarkable past rooted in industrial ingenuity and the foundation of our community. Built in 1860 along the shores of the Rideau River, Watson’s Mill remains active as a working water powered flour mill. Dickinson House, built in 1867, would become the home of all the Mill’s owners and remains open to the public as a heritage house museum.

Watson's Mill is the historical centre of Manotick and the site contains Watson’s Mill, Dickinson House, and the Carriage Shed. The site is run by the not-for-profit Watson’s Mill Manotick Inc.
