This museum is fascinating. It is set on a stream which rushes down to the gorge below and shows how the water was used to mill grain, tan leather and grind gunpowder. The whole process of each is explained and they have working machinery there as well. Children would probably like it too.

Well presented examples of how water was used to fuel cottage industries in days gone by. Supplemented by good videos explaining the ins and outs of milling, tanning and gun powder production all set into the historical context of how folk lived their lives and sort freedom.

This museum is worth well a visit if you want to know more about the use of water power in this part of Greece in the past. The use of waterpower as thriving force for mills in various ways of usage is well displayed and shown in video's which are subtitled in English, but most of all: can be seen in real! This makes it a living museum. The explanation of the mills, the tanning process, the making of gunpowder is well documented and very educative. Take an hour and a half to adopt this part of Greeks recent history.

This museum provides an excellent account of how these water powered machines were used and the history behind them. The audio-visual material is very interesting to watch!

Even if you are not the museum type you will like this one! An open air museum in a very green area, a walk through nature in order to discover the different parts, housed in the restored remainings of mills. There are short videos on leather tanning, gunpowder mill, etc.There is also a trail down to the gorge.
