Mission: This museum in the Orfu Valley, built in 1970, consists of a watermill and the miller's living quarters. The exhibit shows the traditional methods of producing water-ground products. The building in which the miller and his family lived exemplifies the living conditions of a miller in the years when watermills were used for grinding grain. The technology of that time includes a top-drive "drymill" and oil, stick propelled by animal power, that were relocated from Mekenyes.
