The windmills from Kinderdijk in the Netherlands to Cape Cod demonstrate technical innovation and cultural heritage. These structures served for grain milling, drainage, and industrial production. Each mill documents the local history and technical development of its region. The collection includes 18th century mills like the Sanssouci Mill in Potsdam and modern specimens like the Murphy Mill in San Francisco.
