| Here’s
some hands-on fun! Feel the power of falling water to understand how it
turned wheels and turbines in old Nova Scotian industries. Try to pump
enough to move the wheels that power grindstones, a foundry bellows, a
saw blade, or a carding machine. Interactive devices in this exhibit turn
your energy into water power. It’s lots of fun and you can give
it all you’ve got! Waterpower explores the past importance of harnessing
the water of Nova Scotia’s many rivers and streams to power machines
to produce flour, lumber, cloth, leather, iron and other goods. |
