The Wainscott windmill belonging to the Georgica Association has moved around more than most of the old families. It was built in Southampton—on what we still call Mill Hill—in 1813 and moved to Wainscott in 1852, where it remained a functioning windmill. A century ago, in 1910 it was converted into the Wainscott library, but somehow got back into private hands in 1922 when it was moved to Montauk and incorporated into a residence. Two decades later it was given to the Georgica Association and moved once again back to a location in Wainscott.
Presumably its roaming days are in the past, and at nearly 200 years old it has settled into a comfortable old age, everlastingly on its present site. But we will keep an eye on it just in case.
