The Sandwich Windmill is a commemorative structure of mills that existed in the 18th century.
Erected in 1992, the structure is a tribute to the original mills of the area, some of which provided flour to American troops during the War of 1812.
The wind-powered gristmill features a unique message on its circular wall.
The words, "all we are is all we were" can be seen in giant, curving letters.
At night, the scene becomes extra magical as the letters light up.
You can find this magical mill in Mill Street Heritage Park.
