The museum is closed and the windmill is in need of repairs.
This authentic model of a wind-driven mill used for grinding raw grain into flour, was designed and built by the late Paul Jorgenson and his wife in Holland Township. The sixty-foot grist mill is a seven-story structure with sail arms that measure 68 feet from end-to-end. It is a smock mill type of windmill that consists of a sloping, horizontally weatherboarded tower with six or eight sides topped with a rotating roof or cap that brings the sails into the wind. Although the sail arms on this windmill could turn, the windmill was not used for this purpose. Old milling tools, ancient millstones and wooden shoes were displayed when the mill was operational, and Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree Farm was open during the month of December.
