They continue to add more windmills, and inside the workshop you can see how some of the mechanisms work up close. Their video is a bit goofy because it's geared toward kids, but it's still interesting. The docents are passionate about their windmills, and the town has a long history with them.

We visited my husband's hometown last year and his mother took us to see the Mid-America Windmill Museum. It was interesting and still in process of adding more windmills. There was quite a variety. A quaint mid-west attraction.
It has a short movie of the windmill history before touring and a gift shop. There was also a wedding event planned there for later that day.

The nation's only windmill museum. The Mid-America Windmill Museum has about a dozen windmills, including one built just this summer using blueprints provided by Colonial Williamsburg and 350-year-old techniques. Phone: 219-347-2334.
