Beebe Windmill

The four-story smock mill features an ogee cap, four common sails, and stands at the intersection of Ocean Road and Hildreth Avenue.

Built in 1820 for Lester Beebe in Sag Harbor, the windmill moved multiple times before settling at its current location in Bridgehampton.

The structure represents early American industrial engineering with its wooden components and traditional milling techniques that shaped local grain production.

Visitors can find the windmill at coordinates 40.9343, -72.3006, where it stands as a National Register of Historic Places monument.

The mill contains one of the first regulatory systems on Long Island, incorporating a fly, regulators, and cast iron gears in its original machinery.
