Dexter's Grist Mill |
|
|
This early American mill in the center of Sandwich is at the end of a lovely mill pond (Shawme Pond) complete with ducks, and next to a cool, splashing mill race and an old pump. |

The mill (1654) at the intersection of Main and Water streets was fully restored in 1961, and is not just a picturesque attraction: you can go in and see the wooden mill mechanism at work grinding corn, and you can buy bags of fresh cornmeal the same day it's ground. The mill is open from mid-May through early September, daily from 10 am to 5 pm. An admission fee is charged to enter the mill. From the mill, the famous Sandwich Glass Museum is right across the street. Just a few minutes' walk from the mill along Water Street takes you to the Thornton W Burgess Museum, and Hoxie House, another historic landmark from the 1600s. |
