Our steam-powered sawmill depends on donations to help pay for our continued operating expenses throughout the year. Admission is free (no advance tickets required) and donations are gladly accepted.
Student Education Days
Our museum serves as an anchor for early West Sonoma County history. It is an example of the late 19th century industrial revolution, life-styles & work ethics.
We invite teachers and students of all ages to come “Step back into History” with us on our special “students-only history days.”
The Sawmill Today
Founded in 1914, Sturgeon’s Mill has been lovingly restored to operate as a working museum. All of the equipment, tools, and steam engines are original. This sawmill is an authentic time capsule of late 19th – early 20th century saw-milling and logging in Western Sonoma County.
Our History
Beginning in 1914, Sturgeon’s Mill provided needed lumber for western Sonoma County until it closed in 1964. Then, after 30 years of laying dormant, a faithful group of history enthusiasts began work to bring it back to life. Their goal was to create a working museum revealing the daily operations of an early 20th-century steam-powered sawmill.
