LEDYARD, Conn. — The Ledyard Up-Down sawmill in Ledyard, Connecticut 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 1970's and operated by volunteers, the mill is open to the public for sawing demonstrations on Saturdays, 1-4 p.m., April-May, and October-November. There is no admission charge.

Visitors can also view the blacksmith shop, circular sawmill, shingle machine, ice harvesting tools, gristmill and mill artifacts. 

The sawmill is owned by the town of Ledyard, Connecticut and administered by the Ledyard Historic District Commission.
