Our Windmill
 

In preparation for our 2005 season, we not only cut a windmill maze in our cornfield, we built a windmill to unify our educational ciriculum, "Water Works." Our working windmill keeps our stock tank full, so that everyone can try pumping water using cast iron pumps.

Tom Wilkins Family

In keeping with a Dutch law, dating from 1693, which stated "all windmills must have a name", we sponsored a contest in which various names were submitted. The winning entry came from the Tom Wilkins family of El Paso, TX. It is called the "Waterous Pompus Upus."
