Jamestown Verrazano Bridge

The Jamestown Windmill, built in 1787 and operated until 1896, is a historic three-story octagonal structure located on Windmill Hill in Jamestown, RI. Renovated in 2000-2001, the windmill is maintained in working condition and offers visitors the opportunity to climb to the bonnet to see the gears that power the mill stones. Managed by the Jamestown Historical Society, the windmill stands as a symbol of Jamestown's past, with Windmill Day celebrations held every odd-numbered year. Visitors can explore the mill, learn about its history and technology through signage and displays, and even enjoy special events like Evening at the Windmill and educational tours for students.Generated from the website
