Eastham Windmill, Historic windmill and museum in Eastham, Massachusetts, United States.
The Eastham Windmill stands as a wooden structure with four blades and features original grinding mechanisms for processing grain into flour.
Built in Plymouth during 1680, the windmill was relocated to Truro in 1770 and finally settled in Eastham by 1793.
The annual Windmill Weekend celebration in September brings the community together with parades, craft fairs, and local entertainment.
From July through August, visitors can explore the windmill interior between 10 AM and 5 PM, with reduced Sunday hours from 1 PM to 5 PM.
The structure maintains its position as the oldest and last operational gristmill remaining on Cape Cod.

The windmills from Kinderdijk in the Netherlands to Cape Cod demonstrate technical innovation and cultural heritage. These structures served for grain milling, drainage, and industrial production. Each mill documents the local history and technical development of its region. The collection includes 18th century mills like the Sanssouci Mill in Potsdam and modern specimens like the Murphy Mill in San Francisco.
