The mill is now owned by the Province of Nova Scotia and operated as a museum by the DesBrisay Museum. This water-powered mill was owned and operated by the Wile family from 1860 to 1968.

The mill was powered by a 7-horsepower overshot waterwheel using the water of Shady Brook, a tributary of the Lahave River. It became a Registered Heritage Property in Bridgewater in 2013.
