Mill in the Indigenous village of Jeune-Lorette
This watercolour by the British artist Cockburn illustrates the flour mill, a central feature of the new Jesuit mission at Jeune-Lorette. This very normal-looking mill would have been built in 1731, yet the Huron-Wendats moved from Lorette to Jeune-Lorette in 1697. A second mill, a sawmill, was added to the same site in 1749.
