The Grist Mill and Gardens Historic Site is a cool place to visit in the Similkameen River Valley. It's located near the small Village of Keremeos in British Columbia. This historic site is owned by the government of British Columbia. You can find it just north of where the Crowsnest Highway meets Highway 3A.
This special site has a working grist mill building. It was built way back in 1877! The mill uses a waterwheel to power its old machinery. Imagine how they used to grind grain here! The site also has an old general store and a house. There's even an apple house/root cellar where they used to store food. Plus, there are other newer buildings that help tell the story of the past.
