Built by the influential Van Wyck family, the Van Wyck-Lefferts Tide Mill harnessed power from the tidal waves that hit Lloyd Harbor. Made using the most advanced technology of the time, the gable-roofed tidal mill was built in 1795. Although not in use now, the mill owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy, offers boat tours between May and October every year. The Van Wyck-Lefferts Tide Mill warrants an interesting visit with guided tours informing about the functioning and history of the site.
