Mid-America Windmill Museum

 

It is fitting that Kendallville have a windmill museum, since Flint & Walling Company was a major windmill manufacturer. In addition, there were ten other well known manufacturers within a 100-mile radius as well as some twenty other lesser known companies. No other place in the country had such a concentration of windmill manufacturers. Since there were so many different windmill manufacturers within the tri-state area, it was decided to name the newest Northeastern Indiana cultural tourist attraction the “Mid-America Windmill Museum” which allowed the museum to encompass a greater area of interest and include the other windmill companies that existed in this area.
