Bugrovo Village Mill Museum

Bugrovo Village Mill Museum is a wooden watermill in Pushkinogorsky District featuring original millstones and machinery from the 19th century. The structure displays the complete grain processing workflow with its various functional components and how they work together.

The mill was built in the 19th century and forms part of the Mikhailovskoye Museum Reserve. It is linked to poet Alexander Pushkin, who spent time in the area between 1824 and 1826.

The mill demonstrates traditional Russian grain processing methods that were essential to village life. You can watch how water power drove the equipment and see the complete workflow from raw grain to finished flour.

The mill is accessible through guided tours offered primarily in Russian that explain the mechanical operations. It helps to check opening times in advance and be prepared for uneven ground and wooden structures.

A glass floor section in the main room allows visitors to watch the water wheel and the forces that power the millstones directly below. This feature gives a rare view of the hidden mechanics that drive the entire system.
