Here's a couple of windmills just off of Rt. 122 near Delavan. It was dead calm that evening, so nothing was turning. I love how the two are positioned just perfectly.

Barnham Windmill lies on the South-Eastern boundary of the village on the road to Yapton. The present windmill was built in 1829 and has undergone start-and-stop restoration for over a decade although there seems to have been little work done since 2007. The windmill used to be accessible through the adjacent tea rooms (albeit in a rather 'at your own risk', unofficial manner!), but when the tea rooms closed in 2005 so did access to the mill. In August 2009, work began to turn the tea rooms and adjacent property into a total of 5 dwellings, with the provisional development plans stating that the windmill would be turned into a '4/5 bedroom house'.

John Baker's Mill is a grade II listed tower mill at Barnham, Sussex, England which was under restoration and is now to be converted to residential use.
History
John Baker's Mill was built in 1829. The mill was known as Feaver's Mill in the 1860s. In 1890, the mill tower was raised by 18 inches (460 mm) and completely refitted by J W Holloway, the Shoreham millwright. It was working by wind until the early 1920s. The mill was worked by engine until 1963. The sails and fantail were removed in August 1958.
On 16 January 2008, Arun District Council gave Listed Building Consent for the windmill to be house converted, despite strong opposition from the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
Description
For an explanation of the various pieces of machinery, see Mill machinery.
John Baker's Mill is a four storey flint and stone tower mill with a stage at first floor level. When built, she had two Common sails and two Spring sails. These were replaced with four Patent sails carried on a cast iron windshaft, in 1890. The mill is fitted with Holloway's screw brake. The cap is a beehive shape, winded by a fantail. The mill drove two pairs of millstones originally, and Holloway's added a third pair. Currently, the stocks for the sails are on the mill, but the sails haven't been erected yet.

The Windmill which was built in 1805 on what is now Lytham Green is the landmark that everyone sees when they come to Lytham. One of several mills on the Fylde, Lytham Mill was worked until 1919 when a fire destroyed most of the machinery. Rebuilt and renovated several times since, the Windmill now houses a permanent exhibition of the history of the Windmill and of bread-making ; tableaux of Lytham life during the last 100 years, various memorabilia and models. The old Lifeboat House that stands next to it was built in 1863 out of cobblestones, a feature of many buildings in Lytham and later became a museum . It closed in 2004 .
Pulled over to the side of the road to take this shot of the windmill. There were a few horses roaming around in the feild below as well.
