Sturgeon's Mill Historic Steam Sawmill Demonstration Run

Historic Sturgeon's Mill tours
Sun, October 16, 2022, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Sturgeon’s Mill is back – for the first time in two years!

Join us for live demonstrations under the historic giant redwoods. The cook shack will be open for delicious lunchtime snacks and meals that you can enjoy in our beautiful redwood picnic grounds. Free parking is available.

At Sturgeon’s Mill, you can bask in the rich resonance of more than 100 years of California history. Imagine the mighty redwoods that passed through this once-bustling facility, creating the timber that built a great state. Close your eyes, and you can almost hear the voices of the workmen as they labored and laughed together.

Our 108 year old Steam Powered Sawmill depends on donations to help pay for our continued operating expenses throughout the year. This event is free, but please consider helping us continue demonstration runs with your donation to The Sturgeon’s Mill Restoration Project.
If you take pictures, the best time to record the steam engines is in the morning when the temperature is lowest to show off the steam.
Dress in layers. We are only 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean and temperatures change quickly. Please consider wearing flat shoes. You will be walking on dirt, sawdust and uneven terrain. High-heels are discouraged.
Regarding dogs, there are many loud noises at the mill. Loud steam-whistles blow at odd times unexpectedly. In the past we have had issues with frightened dogs. Visitors have gotten tangled with leashes. Please respect the rules at our mill. No dogs allowed! This is a firm rule. Please do not ask when you get here.
No alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs are allowed on the museum’s grounds, do not bring alcohol with your lunch!
