In the late 19thcentuy, Jamestown’s population ballooned and the number of farmers, who grew most of their own food, decreased. Purchased produce was in demand, and grocery stores proliferated.
The new brass plaque, sponsored by a grant from the William Pomeroy Foundation, was placed on the mill this summer. The windmill has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
