Boyd's Windmill, also known
as Boyd's Wind Grist Mill, built in 1810, is a
historic smock mill in Middletown,
Rhode Island
.
John
Peterson built the windmill on Old Mill Lane in Portsmouth,
Rhode Island
in 1810, and William Boyd purchased it in
1815. It originally had four
common
sails, but four more were added by the family.
The windmill was restored by the Middletown Historical Society
after receiving it as a donation in 1990 and moving it to Paradise
Valley Park in Middletown.
It was listed on the
National Register of
Historic Places in 2001.
The windmill is open to the public on Sunday afternoons in July,
August and September.
