Wind Engines
Tourism
Although many wind engines in Illinois are in disuse, a few are kept turning through the efforts of local volunteers and historical societies. This list is just a fraction of the wind engines on public display. Help me add to this list by sending an email to info@illinoiswindmills.org.
