Fabyan Windmill, Historic windmill in Geneva Township, United States.
The Fabyan Windmill reaches 68 feet in height with wooden sails spanning 74 feet, featuring traditional Dutch construction methods without metal nails.
German craftsmen constructed this five-story wooden smock mill between 1850 and 1860 in Lombard, Illinois, before George Fabyan purchased it in 1914.
The structure demonstrates nineteenth-century milling techniques through its complete grinding mechanism system, operated by volunteer millers who maintain traditional practices.
Tours of the windmill operate every Sunday from June through September between 12 PM and 3 PM at Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva.
The interior contains cypress wood beams with black walnut trim, plus a large cogged wheel that turns when wind strikes the canvas-covered vanes.
