The site also features the home of the Morningstar family 85 which is restored to 1932. 86</p> 87 88<br> 89 90<p> 91 Wilson Morningstar operated his mill from 1883 until 1933. During these fifty years, 92 the Morningstar family experienced many changes to their everyday lives. The advancements in 93 technology, manufacturing, transportation, and communication brought about social and cultural 94 change, while the last traces of pioneer life quietly disappeared. 95</p> 96 97<br> 98 99<p> 100 Wilson embraced the new technologies, but also retained some of the old. He used a modern turbine 101 to make stone-ground flour and saw logs into lumber. His turbine eventually ran modern roller milling 102 equipment to produce top quality white flour and, later, a generator to produce his own electricity! 103 Despite having modern equipment, Wilson continued using his millstones to make stone ground flour, 104 and his blacksmith and carpentry shop for making or repairing anything his family or community needed. 105</p> 106 107<br> 108 109 <p> 110 111 Wilson's business slowly declined, and when he died in 1933, the water-powered mill was effectively 112 out of use. The Morningstars were held in high esteem by their community. A letter presented to Wilson 113 and Emma on their 50th anniversary in 1932 thanked them for their fellowship and their contributions 114 to the social and industrial welfare of the community. 115</p> 116 117 <br> 118 <p> 119 120 Today, the mill stands as a monument to a time when industry was physically tied to water power, and 121 as a testament to a very capable and industrious millwright and tradesman who provided for his family 122 and served his community. 123 124 125</p> 126 127<br> 128 129<h2> 130 131 132The Friends of Morningstar Mill 133</h2> 134<br> 135<p> 136 The Friends of Morningstar Mill (FOMM) is an ad-hoc volunteer group that has been 137 to operating the mill and conserving and maintaining the buildings and property since 1992. 138 During the site's open season (May - October), they are on site four to five days a week. 139 They demonstrate the stone-ground flour making process using the water-powered turbine, 140 they host and participate in various events, organize school trips, and provide thousands of 141 free tours of the mill and the miller's house. They also assist with collection's management 142 which includes research, inventory, photographing and cataloguing the collection throughout 143 the year. During the off season, they are on site twice a week maintaining and doing restoration 144 work in the mill and house. 145<br> 146<br> 147</p> 148<!-- 149<p> 150 Morningstar Mill is a small, rural industrial heritage site owned by the 151 City of St. Catharines and operated in partnership with the Friends of Morningstar Mill. 152 It features a working grist mill built in 1872, a turbine shed, and the historic home of 153 the Morningstar family. The Mill provides a rare 154 glimpse back in time to when moving water was used to mechanically grind grain into flour. 155 156</p> 157--> 158<!-- 159<h2> 160 161The Morningstar Mill park and historic buildings 162remain closed until further notice. 163</h2> 164<br> 165<p> 166With individuals violating COVID-19 emergency orders, 167and repeated rescue calls to the area, the City has moved to 168close the Morningstar Mill site until further notice while we 169explore the best way to address safety concerns.
