Boyd's Windmill, also known as Boyd's Wind Grist Mill, is a historic smock mill in Middletown, Rhode Island. John Peterson built the windmill in 1810, and William Boyd purchased it in 1815. It originally had four common sails, but four more were added by the family. The mill is a timber-frame structure, octagonal in shape, and about 30 feet (9.1 m) tall, with a rotating cap powered by eight vanes with canvas sheets.
The mill is located on a public area so the grounds are open. The windmill itself is open to the public on Sunday afternoons in July, August and September.

"Staff were very pleasant! Loved our room! "

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"The room and service were excellent. No problems at all. Even the mattresses were comfortable. All areas of the hotel, both inside the room and in the hallways and common areas, were clean and fresh. (I did not use the pool or hot tub, but enjoyed having that option.) Breakfast could have more plant-based options, but otherwise good."
