Still sawing western red cedar from utility poles that were taken down a few years ago. These boards will be used to repair siding on the historic Nathan Lester House owned by the town of Ledyard. The sawmill has been working very well! Still open for spring visitor season Saturday May 25, 1-4 pm. (And we’re extending the season for Saturday afternoon June 1st.) . . . . . #ledyardupdownsawmill #ledyardct #newengland #connecticut #ledyard #travelnewengland #waterpower #sawmill #oldmill #oldsawmil

A few clips from our first sawcuts for the fall visitor season. A decent little pine log that we will saw into 5/4 boards. You’ll notice that Chandler had to give the saw frame a little help to get started - the pond level is very low from a few months of dry weather so not quite as much power as we’d like. We’re open for visitors and sawing on the historic water-powered mill Saturdays 1-4 pm in October and November. Lots of information about sash sawmills on our website www.ledyardsawmill.org .

Finishing the last log for spring 2025 visitor season Saturday afternoon May 31, 1-4 pm. Hope you can join us! . . . . . #ledyardupdownsawmill #ledyardct #newengland #connecticut #ledyard #travelnewengland #waterpower #sawmill #oldmill #oldsawmill #waterwheel #waterturbine #sashsawmill #upanddownsawmill #updownsawmill #woodworking | Ledyard Sawmill

Visit the historic mill during fall visitor season Saturday afternoons In October and November. Fall in New England is the best! The pond is low, so sawing may be limited until we get more rain. . . . . . #ledyardupdownsawmill #ledyardct #newengland #connecticut #ledyard #travelnewengland #waterpower #sawmill #oldmill #oldsawmill #waterwheel #waterturbine #sashsawmill #upanddownsawmill #updownsawmill #woodworking | Ledyard Sawmill
