I was fortunate to visit Phillipsburg manor in Sleepy Hollow NY over the weekend. Dating from 1693, this historical site is a fantastic visit to learn about 18th century food preservation techniques, the workings of a gristmill, and the lives of the slaves that operated this site along with information on tenant farmers and the reciprocal economy with the Dutch indies in which flour was exchanged for sugar and spices.

Pictures : a reproduction hearth, original mill stones, rebuilt gristmill, the manor house that operated as a company store, the table features a cone of sugar and a jar of preserves aged 7 years and sealed only with parchment and egg white.

We finally found our photos from #RhodeIsland back in 2013. This is the Jamestown Windmill, located in Jamestown, Rhode Island (not far from Newport). This three-story octagonal structure with a domed cap that turns into the wind was built in 1787. The domed cap, the bonnet, carries the wind shaft and the arms. In the photo there are no sails on the arms, but they are raised at least once a year. Several terms can be used to describe the #mill: It is a #windmill because it uses the wind for energy. It is a #gristmill because the wind’s energy is used to grind grain. It is also called a smock mill because the shape reminded some people of the linen smocks worn by early millers. The windmill operated until 1896. In 1904, concerned citizens worked to save the mill from deterioration and the Jamestown Historical Society was formed in 1912 to maintain the structure, which it continues to do today. It was added to the @nationalregisternps in 1973. It is also part of the Windmill Hill Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The structure was mostly recently #restored between 2000 and 2001. #ri #rihistory #jamestownri #jamestown #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #archi_ologie #architecture #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #ushistory #americanhistory #nrhp #explore #exploreri #smockmill #historicdistrict #VisitRhody #visitrhodeisland #rhodeisland_igers (at Jamestown Windmill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrygEUjlX0/?igshid=1pknuvsfm4afp
