Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site

There is a $2 fee to go up, but you can go only a level below the light. The view from the window there is okay! There is trail behind the light house that is worth taking..

Nice historic place to visit off the highway!

I really enjoyed visiting this location. Unfortunately, due to staffing (volunteers) issues, we could not enter the Windmill. I look forward to visiting another time so that I can see the interior, and venture further down the hiking path.Outhouse on site. **Only available when volunteers present.Some picnic tables. Informative plaques.

This is a great historic place to visit. There is also a riverfront trail for some.micor hiking

Very cool stop near Prescott the staff were friendly and the top is a nice view cool bit of history I didn't know about.

This converted windmill has some history. There was a sign at the door that if you call a local guide will take you inside for a donation. We did not but I’m sure it’s interesting. They have plenty of signage with information and a trail by the water.

On the ground there are explanations on how the battle started and how it ended.A short hiking trail by the water can be accessed from here. Good place to have a picnic or spending 30 min to wander around.

Nice place for a Sunday drive and pic nic, leave it as you came please.

Beautiful and peaceful. Not a very big attraction but I really liked this spot. Who would of known there was a battle here.

Didn't go in to see the full trail and all, but just near the now light house, it was memorable!
