East Hampton, NY
In East Hampton, windmills are as much of a fixture as the stunning ocean beaches. It’s always a treat when someone new to the area marvels at the mills since I am then reminded of how striking they really are.
Three windmills are still standing, all of which were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, they are mostly nostalgic renderings of earlier agrarian times, but when the mills were in full use, they provided enough energy to grind grain, saw wood and pump water.
