mills that once stood on Popsquachet ("windy hill" in the Wampanoag language) overlooking Nantucket town. Until late in the 19th century, there was a fifth Nantucket mill called "Round-Top Mill" on the site of the present New North Cemetery. The Old Mill was in a very poor derelict condition when it was sold for twenty dollars in 1828 to Jared Gardner for use as "firewood." Instead of dismantling it, Gardner, a carpenter by trade, restored the mill to working condition making it capable once again of grinding corn. The mill was sold again in 1866 to John Francis Sylvia, a Portuguese miller of Azorean descent, who operated it for many years with his assistant Peter Hoy until it fell into disuse in 1892. In 1897, Miss Caroline French purchased the mill at an auction for $850 and donated it to the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA). The NHA restored it in 1937 and continues to maintain it, grind corn and guide tours of the mill during the summer and early autumn. Another operating smock mill is found in Orleans, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. It was originally erected about 1793 on Kendrick's Hill, on land that later became Orleans. At that time it was known as Elisha Cook's Mill. In 1939, it was moved to Young's hill, in Orleans. It was then known as the Jonathan Young windmill after one of the five owners. In 1897 Captain Hunt, a wealthy sea captain, bought the mill and had it moved to his estate in Hyannisport. The mill was moved by oxen and then via a barge to its Hyannisport location. Eventually the Gove family bought the Hunt estate, and in 1983 gave the mill to the Orleans Historical Society, who donated it to the town of Orleans. The windmill was disassembled, restored and reassembled at its present site. It is open for visitors during the summer.
