The Milk Stand

Ever wonder how milk used to get from the farm to the cheese factory? The journey began at a milk stand where milk was stored until it was picked up!

The O’Hara family played an important role in the cheese industry and like many of their neighbours, shipped milk to the Spring Hill Cheese Factory located at the north-east corner of Mill Rd. and O'Hara Rd. This recently-constructed milk stand pays tribute to the O'Hara's role in local cheddar cheese production.

Featuring a windlass and constructed from salvaged materials from the local area; volunteers were able to create a replication based on milk stands found in the local area and O’Hara family photos.
