Water power. Witness the power of the creek harnessed to cut timber into lumber at one of the oldest industrial sites on the Upper Great Lakes. Smell the sawdust as sawyers demonstrate the pit saw method of cutting lumber, then feel the power of the creek used to cut timber inside the reconstructed sawmill.
Watch as axes are used to turn logs into timbers and help a sawyer make sawdust fly with a pit saw. With a smell of fresh sawdust in the air, the awesome power of the water never fails to impress as the mill springs to life, fed by the pond and ever-flowing currents of Mill Creek. Near the workshop, a tools of the trade programs highlights what life was like beyond the sawmill more than 200 years ago.
