Northumberland Shore Museums

Sutherland Steam Mill

Explore this 1894 saw mill and discover the Nova Scotia ingenuity in a mill once powered by steam.
For nearly 70 years Alexander Sutherland and his family produced carriages, sleds, windows and fancy gingerbread trim for local homes.
See a demonstration of how the power was transferred through belts and pulleys to the many ingenious machines that fill the museum.
If you love things mechanical and innovative, this is the place for you. Kids can discover the ways pulleys work in a hands-on exhibit just for them.
Special events and demonstrations held every month.
