Taylor Mill Historic Site, Water-powered sawmill in Derry, New Hampshire.
Taylor Mill Historic Site is a water-powered sawmill located within a large forest area in Derry. The facility features traditional machinery and equipment used to process logs into lumber using natural water flow.
The sawmill was founded in the early 1800s and later reconstructed in the 1930s using parts from another mill. This restoration preserved the timber-cutting techniques of the 19th century.
The mill demonstrates pre-industrial timber production methods through regular demonstrations, showing visitors the manual processes of transforming pine logs into lumber.
The site opens on select weekends during the warmer months. Check ahead for visiting days to ensure you can plan your trip to see the mill in operation.
The saw mechanism operates at 60 strokes per minute, using water power to drive the blade through logs in a vertical motion typical of nineteenth-century technology.
