Formerly situated on the grounds of the Treherne Museum, the Treherne Flour Mill was constructed in 1891 by the Grey Brothers. Purchased in 1898 by Christian Wiechman, the mill operated until it was destroyed by fire in 1905. From working in American mills and the Ogilvie Flour Mill in Winnipeg, Wiechman rebuilt and modernized the mill, including a power plant which supplied Treherne with street lights from 1906 to 1928. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1942. A plaque and millstone commemorate the mill.
