Windmills of Kansas Learnings From Early Landmarks
Early 1860s Lawrence windmill built by A Palm and partner Wilder drew Scandinavian and English investment. It stood atop bluffs, with a four story hexagonal cone, four wings and a windlass system for direct grain transfer. Destroyed by fire in 1905, only ruinous foundations remain as a remembered landmark. Nearby Wamego preserves a Holland style mill from 1879, while Reamsville hosts a Dutch type windmill dating to 1882 built by Charles Schwarz.
