The Reuss Power Station Museum is a monument to history and a witness to industrialization. The Bruggmühle was mentioned in documents as early as 1281 - probably one of the oldest river mills in Switzerland. In 1835, a spinning mill was built in place of the mill. Water power was used to directly drive the sawmill and textile machines. Since 1892, the water power of the Reuss has been used to produce electricity. The AG Elektrizitätswerk zur Bruggmühle supplied the town with electricity and provided the power for the Bremgarten-Dietikon tramway.
In addition to electrical appliances, the exhibition room shows how electricity was used in the early days. The old machinery demonstrates the importance of hydroelectric power for industrial development. The demonstration of the old functioning equipment impressively shows visitors the transformation of water power, mechanical energy into electrical energy.
