Mill Village

Mill Village is a rural community in the Region of Queens Municipality, Nova Scotia. Located inland from the Atlantic coast, Mill Village was the site of Canada's first satellite earth station constructed in the 1960s. Historically built around logging and lumber, Mill Village lies along the Medway river and to this day it has many old structures related to these industries pre-dating the era of cheap fuel. There are many homes in the Mill Village area that are well over 180 years old and trees that were mature before the houses were built. Mill Village has a well established Fire Hall, Churches, Gararge and General Store. One of the last true General Stores is a landmark itself. It has recently changed ownership and once upon a time you could find anything and everthing at this store. Sitting beside the 4-way stop in the Village intersection it now offers everything from milk to pop and candy.
