Here Comes The Fire Chief

The Ledyard Up-Down Sawmill in Ledyard, Connecticut is a rare surviving example of a water-powered up-and-down sawmill, restored to operating condition in the 1970s. Visitors can witness sawing demonstrations and explore various mill artifacts, including a blacksmith shop, circular sawmill, shingle machine, and ice harvesting tools. Owned by the town of Ledyard and administered by the Ledyard Historic District Commission, the sawmill is open to the public on Saturday afternoons in the spring and fall, offering a glimpse into the rich history of New England sawmills and the technology that was once commonplace.Generated from the website
