The center has been obtained from a renovated Venetian sawmill (now perfectly working), where tree trunks were cut into boards by using the energy produced by the water of Rio Valsura.
In the building adjacent to the sawmill there is a permanent multimedia exhibit on wood and timber.
Also the nearby mill works with water. Recently renovated, it transforms wheat into flour.
