🏛️ Open-air Water Museum

The Open-air Water Museum is located in the city of Edessa, Central Macedonia, Greece. In the early 20th century there were many water-powered workshops in the city. In 1991 the Municipality of Edessa decided to improve and develop the Mills area, the Kannavourgio and the ‘Estia’ works, by establishing an open air, water-power museum, and creating recreation areas. The Open-Air Water Museum, which opened early in 2000, aims to acquaint visitors with the history of water-power from the workshops of pre-industrial times up to the early 20th century.
