Abstract:

In the last year, Tucker Littleton has documented 155 windmills on North Carolina's Outer Coastal Plain. The first windmill in North Carolina was built in 1723 at Avon. So far, the majority of the surviving windmills have been discovered in Carteret County. Lyanne Westcott of Manteo has begun the restoration of a 19th-century windmill at Nags Head. Scheduled to finish in September, the windmill will be open to the public.
