Eclipse Beloit Wisconsin
Antique Windmill at the Windmill Farm
The Windmill Farm is on land near Tolar, Texas. The place has a Bed & Breakfast, and the owner has a thing for old windmills. Every windmill has a number, and the owner has researched the history of every one and produced a four-page circular describing each one.
This one was made by the Fairbanks Morse Company in Beloit, Wisconsin, sometime in the 1880-1920 time period. Invented in 1863, it was the most common type in the late 19th century. The company's patent expired in 1901, and many other companies copied it exactly. The owner calls this one's color 'cow patty green.'
