Experience the Lazinka Sawmill!
See an authentic sawmill used at the turn of the 20th century to process wood with an enormous blade slicing through thick Oregon-grown trees.
In its original form, the mill was located at the Lazinka homestead in Ukiah, Oregon. It turned out thousands of board feet a month until the late 1920s. This single-saw cirque mill was driven by steam power.
The Lazinka sawmill is still operational. It now runs on electricity and requires a big High Desert Museum crew to operate. We run it once a month during the summer months, milling lumber to be used at our High Desert Ranch. Check our Events Calendar to find out when you can see the Lazinka Sawmill work its magic and feel it rumble beneath your feet.
