Stoomhoutzagerij Nahuis: sawing wood with steam power

Museum Stoomhoutzagerij Nahuis in Groenlo offers visits on announced ‘steaming’ days (Onder stoom-dagen). The horizontal and vertical saws and the steam installation form the stated core.

Plan your visit ↗

Following the drive mechanism

The connection between the boiler, the engine and the saw is a good way into the visit. Have it explained how the various parts work together, and follow the instructions around working machinery.

Two directions of sawing

The stated horizontal and vertical saws invite comparison. Ask what the different set-ups are used for and which demonstrations actually take place on the day of your visit.

Explanation along the route

A museum route with QR codes is mentioned as an addition. With it you can look up information about individual items, alongside any verbal explanation from the volunteers present.

Before you go

There is no fixed weekly schedule. Also check the times of special evening openings, and register larger groups with the organisation in advance.
