Running of the Mill
A yearly event where Boyd's Mill comes alive, all 8 vanes with sails turning, paired with arts/craft vendors, family entertainment & more.
Boyd's Mill November 16, 2024
Paradise Park Middletown RI
A perfect afternoon allowed for the historic 8 van windmill to run beautifully as it once did. With a new shaft and rigging, the mill is set to run a handful of times in the upcoming 2025 season and on. As always, helping hands are welcomed.
Our entire organization is based upon volunteers. We are currently accepting applications for those who might like to volunteer at our properties. Please submit an application to be considered.
