Peotone Mill, Historic windmill in Peotone, Illinois.
The Peotone Mill features a 60-foot tower constructed with Dutch millwright techniques and specialized machinery for processing various types of grain products.
Built in 1872 by Henry A. Rathje, the mill operated until 1917, transitioning from wind power to steam power in 1885 due to deteriorating sails.
The mill represents the German and Dutch settlement influence in Illinois, providing essential flour production services to local farming communities during the late 1800s.
Located at 433 W. Corning Ave in Peotone, the mill stands as a National Register of Historic Places monument under restoration by the Peotone Historical Society.
The structure maintains its original grain processing equipment and architectural elements, receiving preservation grants for structural assessment and rehabilitation projects.
