McLean Mill National Historic Site

The McLean "Steam" Sawmill is the only steam-operated sawmill in Canada. You can experience the excitement of steam, as the sawmill cuts wood for demonstration and sale. The "Tin Pants Theatre" troupe will entertain you with stage shows at the Nikkei Theatre and show you around the site as if you were just starting work at the mill. You'll see the old original buildings and lots of restored logging equipment around the site including a steam donkey, logging trucks, graders and lumber carriers.

Visitors can ride the historic Alberni Valley Railway steam train from downtown Port Alberni to the mill.
