    Old Stone Mill

    A curious stone tower of uncertain provenance, some people believe the Old Stone Mill was built by Norse mariners before the voyages of Columbus, making it the oldest-existing structure in the US. Others say it’s a windmill’s base, built by an early governor of the colony. Whatever myth you believe, it is set in a grass park and enjoying a picnic in its shadow won’t hurt your day.
