Description:  Watermills are among the last industrial sites in Canada that exist in tranquil harmony with their surroundings. Usually built of local stone and timber and often without plans, water-powered mills are examples of structures that are functional yet elegant, utilitarian yet strikingly beautiful. Sometimes masked by vegetation, frequently dominating a landscape, they have long been the object of admiration by architects, engineers, artists and historians.

Richly illustrated with more than 150 colour and fine-grained black and white photographs, Watermills is an evocation of another era, a vivid and lasting tribute to a vanishing symbol of Canada's heritage.
