Earth Day at Spocott Windmill & Village

Spocott Windmill joins forces with the Dorchester Citizens for Planned Growth (DCPG) to provide a day of environmental and historical celebration on Saturday, April 18, from 10am to 3pm. Watch the mill running (weather permitting) and tour the buildings that are part of the complex including the Windmill, Adaline Wheatley House, Castle Haven Schoolhouse, Blacksmith Shop, Country Store and Museum, and the partially renovated 19th Century Doctor’s Office. Other ongoing activities during the day will include numerous activities for children in the old schoolhouse, food, and live music. The day will also feature the Arbor Day tree giveaway sponsored by the Dorchester County Forestry Board. The Spocott Windmill Foundation and DCPG will sponsor a horseshoe tournament for teams representing community service organizations.
