Sturgeon Sawmill Working Museum

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I thought some of you may enjoy this. We recently went on vacation to NorCal partly to see this sawmill. It is an early 1900's vintage sawmill for cutting redwoods. My 6 year old is into all kinds of big machinery so I thought this would be fun for him and he loved it. If you are ever up this way on a weekend they run the mill you should go.

I worked with the sawyer at the sawmill at the top of Mt. Lemmon one summer in college. That one wasn't steam driven 'tho. This is very cool!

The operator of the log winch kept asking kids to come pull the cord...which was connected to the steam whistle...

 

My 6 year old and a couple other older kids said no.

 

My 3 year old is pretty fearless and went for it. He about pooped himself when he pulled the cord and went running. :)
