It is believed that there has been a windmill, on this site, since 1596.
The mill was ideally placed to catch the wind and was able to produce over 100 pounds of flour every 3 to 5 minutes. However, the mill was difficult to access by cart. The previous structure, a wooden peg mill, was destroyed by fire in 1791 .
During a gale, the sails got out of control and the friction produced by the revolving wooden mechanism caused the entire mill to burst into flames.
