Old Higgins Farm Windmill
Old Higgins Farm Windmill, Historic windmill in Brewster, Massachusetts, United States.
The Old Higgins Farm Windmill features a fixed base and movable cap design, with two large grindstones inside the wooden structure at Drummer Boy Park.
Built in 1795, the windmill operated until 1900 and underwent multiple relocations before finding its final place at Ellis Landing in Brewster in 1974.
The structure represents the agricultural traditions of Cape Cod, where corn processing formed a fundamental part of the local economy during the 19th century.
Located at 773 Main Street in Brewster, Massachusetts, visitors can explore the windmill during scheduled tours organized by the Brewster Historical Society.
This smock-style windmill remains the sole surviving example in Brewster, maintaining its original grinding mechanisms and structural elements from the 18th century.
