THE A. THOMAS DILL BEACH CAMP, on the same site as the Swift-Daley
House, was moved from the beach just prior to the 1978 storm that ravaged
the spit south of the Coast Guard Station. Built before 1940, it is
furnished as it was when used as a fishing and hunting camp. Moved to the
present location in 1995, it is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places.

THE EASTHAM WINDMILL, located on the green in the center of town, was built in Plymouth about 1680. It was moved to Truro in the 1770s and then to Eastham in 1793, first to where the National Seashore Salt Pond Visitor Center is now located, and then to its present site in 1808. Lovingly restored and maintained, it is both the oldest and and last working gristmill on the Cape. Owned and maintained by the Town of Eastham, the mill is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during July and August; 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places. |
