Little Chute Windmill

The Little Chute Windmill is a functional grain mill in Wisconsin built following a Dutch design. The structure uses wind power to grind grain and displays the classic features of European mill architecture.

The mill was built following a 19th century design from the Dutch province of North Brabant. The structure was assembled in Europe, then transported to Wisconsin and rebuilt on its current site.

The windmill represents Dutch settlement in the American Midwest and shows how immigrants maintained their craft traditions in a new homeland. Visitors can see how the mill functioned in daily life and what role it played in the community.

The mill is located on Main Street and is easy to find and visit. Tours are offered on specific days, and the site provides ample parking for visitors.

The structure was engineered by a fourth-generation Dutch miller using authentic European techniques. This expertise allowed traditional milling methods to be reproduced precisely and preserved to this day.
