Kendallville Windmill
The idea of building a windmill museum as a tourist attraction for the Kendallville area was adopted in March of 1992 by the Kendallville Local Development Corporation. Research discloses that the greatest concentration of windmill manufacturers existed within a 75-mile radius of Kendallville. One of these windmill manufacturers, The Flint & Walling Company, was located in the heart of Kendallville. So far eight windmills have been completely restored, with four already erected on the outside premises. Eight additional windmills are in the process of restoration. A restored collection of 10 windmills will be added to the spring of 1997. Open April through November.
