This
building is a replication of the typical sawmills that would have been around in the
1870s. The inside came from Paltimore Quebec. It contains all the original tools and is
still in working order today! The sawmill is one of the most interesting buildings at the
museum, it is huge and the blades and tools used to cut the wood are all very fascinating
to look at. There are two sections to the sawmill: one is for cutting the huge logs of
wood and the other is for making shingles. The shingles that are made in the mill are very
high quality and were actually used to re-shingle the church and the school house. The
sawmill would have been a very important place in the 1930s. The wood and shingles cut by
the mill would have been used by the whole community to build houses and businesses. Come on inside to take a look at how this mill works and some
of the tools that they use. |
