An actual windmill! A great side attraction located away from the hustle from town. DOG FRIENDLY! Be sure to walk around and get a good glimpse from all sides. Read the posted boards to learn a bit about this windmill and its purpose. Few artifacts lying around here and there. Site includes a small free parking lot, and dog waste bags/bins. Would visit again.

This was my first time seeing a windmill in person! It was only a few minutes from my Vrbo rental and I randomly stumbled across it and just had to pull over and take photos! It's in great condition and it's pretty huge too. It felt like I was in another time.

Very cool! Dogs are allowed in those small park. The Windmill was neat to look at

Tranquil, quaint historical spot for a quick 30 min visit or picnic. Free parking available and plenty of greenery. Paved walkway allows for easy exploring and may be ADA accessible, though the windmill itself is atop a mound. The park is on the smaller side, but a good assortment of picnic goods can be brought as long as one takes the rubbish back oneself as bins have...
