The historic Ledyard Up-Down Sawmill is a water-powered sash sawmill located on the original site on Lee’s Brook in Ledyard, Connecticut.  Restored to operating condition in the 1970s and now staffed by volunteers, the mill is open to the public for sawing demonstrations on Saturday afternoons in the spring and fall.  There is no admission charge.

The mill buildings and park are owned by the town of Ledyard, CT and administered by the Ledyard Historic District Commission.
