| The restored Fabyan Windmill located in Geneva, Illinois. |
Read about the amazing restoration of the windmill that was done in the nick of time by old world craftsmen,
here. I find it somewhat disappointing that the Fabyan Windmill doesn't grind and that there are no demonstrations of it grinding wheat into flour. There was a bakery in the basement, a novel idea for a mill. The windmill is part of the once 300-acre estate of
George and Nell Fabyan that they called "Riverbank." Across the river is thei "
Fabyan villa," which was remodeled by Frank Lloyd Wright. Across the street (Route 31) from that is
Riverbank Laboratories, the first ever privately funded scientific research facility.
