Farris Windmill
The Farris Windmill is said to be the oldest windmill in the United States
Windmills like this one were as pretty as they were useful.
This windmill, which was used to grind corn, had many owners. It was named after the Farris family, which ran it for
three generations. The wind moved the sails to operate the machinery inside.
Built in the mid 1600s and operated in three locations in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
