Round up of the history of DeZwann windmill, Michigan 🌍

The 243 year old DeZwann windmill was shipped from the Netherlands to arrive 40 years ago in Holland, Michigan, where it was reassembled over a period of 6 months as the main feature of Windmill Island.

The mill was purchased for $2800, and travelled by ship from the Netherlands to Muskegon, where on Oct 6 1964 it was transferred to a fleet of trucks. $450,000 was then spent reassembling it.
