Prescott Farm, Colonial windmill in Middletown, Rhode Island, US.
The Robert Sherman Windmill at Prescott Farm features four vanes and stands as a smock-style structure on the 40-acre historical property.
British General Richard Prescott occupied the farm before being captured by Rhode Island militia forces during a strategic operation on July 9, 1777.
The University of Rhode Island Master Gardeners maintain a historical vegetable garden that replicates farming methods and crops from colonial times.
Visitors can explore the preserved buildings, walking paths, and witness the operational windmill that dates from 1812 on the public access areas.
The garden produce from Prescott Farm directly supports Lucy's Hearth, a local women's shelter, maintaining a connection with community assistance programs.
