Straight ahead from Millis on State 115 are Boggestowe Pond, 1.4 m., and the Site of the Old Gristmill. On the crest of a hill about 100 yards (R) from the road is an Old Windmill.

Found the location of this site thru MACRIS and the words contained within the historic documents on this site. Being private property I did not venture any further than the street. Never located the Old Windmill.
