Delta is a small community in the Seaway Region of Eastern Ontario where you can explore the region's rural heritage with a stone mill from 1810, and a heritage walking tour . The community was first settled by European immigrants in the 1800s along the upper reaches of Plum Hollow Creek and has grown since, making the total population of the hamlets and villages in Rideau Lakes about 11,000 (2021).

Built in 1810, the old mill has been restored to its former glory by the Delta Mill Society, a non-profit volunteer group. The mill is open to the public from the Victoria Day long weekend in May to Labour Day in September and during special Delta events (Maple Syrup Festival, Delta Harvest Festival and Celebrating the Season). In addition to its impressive architecture, it features an operating water wheel and mill stones. Heritage grain is ground into flour using the old mill stones several times during the season.

The Delta Fair is an annual fair that has been running since the 1830s, making it Ontario's oldest continuously operating fair. Running at the end of July, this fair includes entertainment with music, contests, rodeos, petting zoos, and carnival games and rides.
