McMillan Park
at 109 Main St. Erin
McMillan Park is the name of our wonderful new park at 109 Main Street in the Village of Erin. This name was chosen out of the 120 names that were suggested. It was chosen due to the name's historical significance to the Village of Erin.
In the 1800's Canada's machinery was driven by water power. Between 1828 and 1849, Daniel McMillan and his younger brothers, Charles and Hugh, seized their opportunity to produce water power from the waterway in the Village of Erin, 
expanding upon the existing mill at that time. The brothers constructed three dams, three lengthy millraces and seven mills which included saw mills, flour mills and woolen mills. The establishment of these mills resulted in the new community of McMillan's Mills (renamed Erin after 1852).
