The Brewster Windmill Village in Brewster, Massachusetts is a quick 0.1-mile out-and-back roadside walk that leads to a historical windmill, blacksmith shop, and home.
Walk Description
This is not a hike, but rather a quick walk that leads through a small park that includes several historical structures: Higgins Windmill circa 1795, Harris-Black House circa 1795, and the Hopkins Blacksmith Shop circa 1867. Visitors can walk around the grounds to take a look at the restored buildings that the Brewster Historical Society has kindly allowed the public to enjoy.
Parking
Visitors will find a large parking turnout at the coordinates provided at Drummer Boy Park. The parking lot is large enough to fit a couple dozen vehicles.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and cleaned up after.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
