Heritage Museum and Gardens
Sandwich, MA
Originally built in 1800 in the town of Orleans, MA. the Old East Windmill worked there for 93 years grinding barely, corn, wheat, rye and salt. The founder of the Heritage Museum and Gardens purchased the windmill in 1968, had it disassembled and moved to it's present location. It seems quite at home amongst the gardens there.
Orleans also has a windmill that is still standing there.
ReplyDeleteSurrounded by trees, suspect that the windmill does little grinding these days, but it looks great.
