The Gov. John Adams Dix Windmill, originally constructed on property owned by the Governor of New York John Adams Dix in 1870, is a historic windmill located in Westhampton Beach, New York in the United States. It is a "smock"-style windmill, named after the 8-sided style that resembles the smocks (petticoats) traditionally worn by farmers and millers. The windmill was designed to pump water for agriculture, livestock, and household purposes, rather than for milling corn or wheat or sawing timber. Restoration and Stewardship In 2024, the Gov. John Adams Dix Windmill underwent a full structural and historical restoration, following its relocation to the Great Lawn in Westhampton Beach. The project was managed by Matthew K. Smith, Superintendent of Public Works for the Village of Westhampton Beach. Smith also serves as the windmill’s official long-term caretaker, responsible for its preservation and operational oversight. The restoration was made possible through private donations, historic preservation grants, and support from the Greater Westhampton Historical Museum, with no public tax funding used.
