Old Grist Mill and Gardens
The town's main historic attraction is the Old Grist Mill and Gardens (Upper Bench Rd.,
250/499-2888, adult $5, child $4), a restored water-powered mill built in 1877. This is
where pioneer Similkameen Valley settlers used to grind locally produced wheat into flour.
Costumed interpreters lead tours of the property daily mid-May to mid-September, then in-
vite you to try your hand at the many informative and entertaining hands-on displays in the
museum and visitor center. A pleasant tearoom overlooks garden plots carefully planted to
reflect various eras (the $10 lunch is delicious) and also on the property is a campground
($15-25). Outside of summer, the grounds are open for inspection. To get there, go through
town on the main highway, turn north on Highway 3A toward Penticton, then right at the
Historic Site sign on Upper Bench Road.
