Historic Windmill Tour

Bob tours the "Old East Mill" at the Heritage Plantation in Sandwich, MA. Moved from it's original location in Orleans, MA, and restored, the post-and-beam windmill is an excellent example of historic machinery. In it's day, the mill produced rye, corn salt, and barley. Now it serves as an educational tool for school children and visitors to the plantation. More information
