The Open Air Water Power Museum

The Open Air Water Power Museum in Dimitsana was a little treasure. It highlights the importance of water-power in traditional society. Focusing on the main pre-industrial techniques that take advantage of water to produce a variety of goods. I was told by others today that a bank here, Piraeus bank, sponsors several of these types of museums throughout Greece and that most are worth seeing. This was unlike any museum we have visited yet. I also may have wandered outside the museum limits at one point, but I'm not sure. However, I feel like I found the secret garden.
