Sheffield Mills Cenotaph

Sheffield Mills, Nova Scotia

This memorial was erected in 2007. It consists of a fieldstone wall and two engraved millstone replicas. Sheffield Mills has been the site of many mills over the years and therefore the use of millstones was a very fitting object. The fieldstone wall behind the millstones is designed to imitate the ruins of a wall. Eric Jackson and Oran Starratt built the wall from donated stones from Bill Sweetnam and mounted the millstones. There are plans to add a flag pole to this site in the future.
