The Chatham Saw Mill is Asia’s oldest sawmill located on a small island and connected to Port Blair by a bridge. The mill is accompanied by a forest department museum that showcases the region’s forest activities through scale models and displays of decorative pieces made from various woods such as Padauk, Marble, Peauma, Gurjan, and Satin Wood. The museum is a must-visit for those interested in forestry and the history of the region’s lumber industry.
