Mid-America Windmill Museum

 




This is a rather unique museum to visit. I'm naturally attracted to nostalgic places, and this place is like no other. Windmills used to dot the countryside - they were everywhere here in Indiana. So coming here was just like stepping back in time and highly enjoyable as well as educational for me. This is the Mid-America Windmill Museum, located just outside of Kendallville, Indiana (the property abuts the city border). I happened to see a sign for this museum on the road while taking care of an errand and decided that I needed to visit. I'm glad I did. Above is the scene from the parking lot as one walks up towards the visitor center. Of course, the windmills can also be seen as I will show in the pictures below. Closeups of each can be seen on their website link above. 

After the first few pictures, an explanatory sign describes each windmill and then a picture of the windmill appears. Some of the windmills are missing different parts.
