Okay. Who out there remembers when this windmill was in operation? Come on, don't all answer at once. Show of hands please.... One. Two. Is that all? It has been obviously quite some time since this old girl made a last go-round. Actually it really wasn't too long ago, when it still had a few more boards left, which actually did make it spin just a wee bit when the wind would catch them. But as far as spinning to get water up out of the well.....hmmmm, I am going to bet twenty-five, perhaps thirty years have gone bye. Maybe more. I like that the property owner has left it standing. A bit of history, though rusting away, but still speaking to those who take the time to listen.
