In the late 1600s, Yarmouth was home to 5 windmills – all built for grinding grain (also known as “grist”). Built in 1791, the Judah Baker Windmill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is Yarmouth’s last-surviving windmill. Only a half-mile from Route 28, the windmill stands in a small park overlooking the Bass River and facing west toward Nantucket Sound. While you can see the windmill anytime, our dedicated volunteers offer free tours during the season.

Accessibility: The park is flat with grass, a brick path, and a composite path (which can be slippery when wet). Inside the windmill, there are steps to the second level. When the windmill is open during the season, there is a portable toilet available (not accessible). See Google map of windmills you can visit on Cape Cod & the Islands.

Windmill tours are free: June 3-September 5, Mon-Thu, 1pm-4pm, weather permitting.
