The Mill of Kinlnil, off highway 29, norlh of Almonte. Another Historic Spot To Visit HE PRESIDENT of Ramsay Women‘s I Institute would have us know that the Mill of Kintail, off Highway 29 just North of Almonte. is one of the most beauti- ful of the historic sites in Ontario. A pioneer grist-mill, dating from 1830, it was restored by the great Canadian surgeon, physical educator and sculptor, Tait McKenzie, as his own home and studio, It now contains the world's finest collection of Dr. McKenzie’s sculpture and an exhibit of local early»settlers’ effects. The Mill of Kintail is open this summer from June 1 to October 15 on Weekdays, ex- Cept Tucsday, from 10 o’clock to 12 and from 2 to 6; and on Sundays from 2 to 6. Ramsay Women’s Institute holds its annual historical meeting here and the Mill is frequently visited by other Women’s Institutes. “Now that Can» ada has embarked on a programme of physical fitness there is an awakening right across Can- ada to the importance of Tait McKenzie as an inspiring example of allâ€"round mental and physical fitness,” says our informant. “His life and works as a surgeon, soldier. teacher of physical education, athlete and artist, are well illustrated at the Mill of Kintail."
