    A great illustrative model of how sawmills used to be operated.

      Here it is shown how water (water wheel) is used to drive a saw to cut wood

        Beautiful model that can be used to show children how a tree trunk can be sawn with water power. Further back in the valley there is also a historic sawmill to visit.

          The sawmill is powered by water. Very interesting to watch

            Small demonstration sawmill that can be operated with the water wheel.
