Ledyard Sawmill

The Ledyard Up-down Sawmill is an operating water-powered nineteenth century sawmill in Ledyard Connecticut. 
The sawmill is a rare surviving example of a technology that was once commonplace – a water-powered up-and-down, or sash-type sawmill.  Restored to operating condition in the 1970s and operated by volunteers, the mill is open to the public for sawing demonstrations on Saturday afternoons in the spring and fall.  
The water-powered sawmill still operates using the original saw and water turbine that were installed in the mid-1800s.
The sawmill is owned by the town of Ledyard, Connecticut.
