Jamestown Windmill

Built in 1787 and in operation until 1896, the old Jamestown windmill stands high on Windmill Hill in the center of the island. It is a three-story octagonal structure with a domed cap that turns into the wind. The domed cap, the bonnet, carries the wind shaft and the arms.

The original framework of the mill is of hand-hewn chestnut timbers with shingled exterior. The mill is maintained in working condition and major renovations to repair damage from weather and insects were completed in 2000-2001.
