Description
Built in 1746 by Nantucket sailor, Nathan Wilbur, this Dutch-style windmill is rumored to be constructed of lumber salvaged from ships that wrecked off the coast of the island. It's the only survivor of four just like it that once graced the hills overlooking Nantucket town, and it is considered the oldest functioning mill in the country. Although the Old Mill ceased commercial production in 1892, when the weather is just right, the canvas sails still occasionally spin to power wooden gears that grind corn on an old granite stone. The meal produced can then be purchased here.
