Volunteering and Morningstar Mill

The Volunteers - Friends of Morningstar Mill currently work mainly on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 till 2 or 3:00. Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers need not come every day nor for the full day. People are needed in all areas of interest setting up displays, painting, building all manner of items, giving tours to visitors, doing demonstrations, delivering brochures, mowing lawns gardening - there is no end to the type of jobs to be done. Special talents are great but just plain assistance is very much appreciated as well. People holding a piece of wood for the carpenters while they hammer it in place are valued. There is always something that needs sweeping up or dusting off. If you do have a skill and perhaps can not do the work anymore your instruction and direction of others would be appreciated. On open house days guides and amateur historians play a very useful role in passing on the history of the mill and the surrounding area.. Interpreters in all languages help visitors understand the importance of the Niagara area in the development of Canada. We receive visitors from all over the world and we provide free school tours especially to grade 3 pioneer studies classes.

There is no charge to visit the mill thanks to the work of many dedicated volunteers. If you would like to assist with the work of the Friends of Morningstar mill please reply to info@morningstarmill.ca or call Gary Konkle at 905-384-2530.or just come our for a visit and make yourself know to one of the volunteers, to see what you might like to do.

All donations of time, effort or money are gratefully received and go to the further the preservation of the site.

Please come and join us even if it is just for a visit on any of the days above but particularly on the Open House days when we will have the Mill running and the Blacksmiths shop will be in operation and the miller's house built in 1894 is now completed and fully refurbished circa 1920. We look forward to meeting you.
