Baxter Mill
The Baxter Mill is a historic gristmill, now a museum, on route MA 28 in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. The mill, a small square wood frame building, was built c. 1710 by John and Shubel Baxter. At that time the mill was powered by an externally mounted wheel. The structure was rebuilt c. 1860, replacing the exterior waterwheel with an internal turbine, and remained in operation until the turn of the 20th century. The building was restored to working order in 1961 (as discussed by A. Harold Castonguay, one of the restorers, in his book ''Two men on a mill: The story of the restoration of Baxter's mill''), including creation of a replica of the turbine. The original turbine remains on site as part of the museum display. The mill was given to the town, and is operated by the Yarmouth Historical Commission as a museum on a seasonal basis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Baxter Mill )〕 The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.〔 ==See also==
