Historic Sites of Manitoba: Burrows Mill Site (Burrows Street, Grandview, Municipality of Grandview)This municipally-designated historic site in Grandview, in the Municipality of Grandview, was established by pioneering Manitoba lumberman T. A. Burrows. At one time, there was a sawmill, planing mill, lath mill, drying and storage yard, worker housing, barns, and ancillary facilities here. At its height, the mill and associated logging activities employed up to 1,000 people and processed over 13 million board-feet of limber in a season. In the mid-1910s, Burrows built a larger mill at Bowsman as the importance of the Grandview site waned. Designated as a municipal heritage site in May 2007, all that remains of it are some concrete foundations and a monument erected in 2010 by the Manitoba Heritage Council.
