Jonathan Young windmill: smock

The Jonathan Young windmill was returned to Orleans ownership in 1983, after having first been built in the town about 1720. She was moved to Hyannisport in 1897, then given by the Groves family to the Orleans Historical Society in 1983, who then donated it to the town of Orleans. The final move brought it back to Town Cove Park, where it now stands.
