Originally built between between 1850 and 1860 by Louis Blackhaus, a German craftsman, the Dutch Mill was originally located along York Road near Oak Brook. In 1914 it was purchased by Colonel George Fabyan and moved to his estate, Riverbank, what is now Fabyan Forest Preserve. Roman numeral markings carved into the beams used in original reconstruction are still visible. The Fabyan windmill is one of the best example of an authentic Dutch windmill in the United States. The windmill underwent a complete restoration ending in 2005. The restoration required a trip to the Netherlands for authentic timber and gear work. The grinding stones were also restored so the operating mill can again grind flour. The windmill is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The mill is open for tours Saturday and Sunday from 1 - 4 p.m., May 15 - October 15

The ‘Wind Farm” as it is aptly called consist of 15 wind turbines. The turbines are on-shore and arranged in a single row spaced 326 meters apart. The turbines hub height (ground level to center of nacelle – that part holding the blades) is 70 meters high (roughly equivalent to a 23 storey building), each blade is 41 meters long (just 9 meters shy of an Olympic sized pool) giving a rotor diameter of 82 meters and a wind-swept area of 5,281 square meters.
Aug 2008. Tuxford Windmill was built in 1820 and is a god example of a tower mill. Restored during the 1990's, it's good to see it producing flour again.
When surprise comes from an unexpected photograph.
This one was taken during our midday visit to the Bangui Wind Farm in Ilocos Norte. It was searing hot that day i didn't have the courage to actually go out of the comfortable shade of the nearest windmill to get a panorama of all twenty windmills. Out of laziness and shear frustration, i pointed my camera up and took a hasty shot. This turned out to be THAT hasty shot and i like it a lot!
