Spocott Windmill
This windmill is typical of the grist post mills used in the 18th and 19th centuries for grinding grain. Such a windmill, built here about 1850 by John A.L. Radcliffe, was blown down in the Blizzard of 1888. In 1972 it was reconstructed, using the original grinding stones and internal steps.
Marker is on Hudson Road (Maryland Route 343) 0.2 miles west of Spocott Lane, on the left when traveling west.
