Hook Windmill
Hook Mill
A wooden smock windmill built in 1806 with its internal machinery intact; a landmark of East Hampton.
Hook Mill was built in 1806 at the junction of North Main Street and Main Street on the northern edge of East Hampton village. It is one of the most complete surviving smock windmills on Long Island, with its wooden gears and millstones well preserved, and it is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Interior tours are usually offered on summer weekends, where visitors can learn how wind-powered milling worked in the 19th century. At other times, you can take photos from the lawn outside. It is about a 10-minute walk from the village center.
