Mission:

To provide a museum to collect, display, preserve and tell the story of wind power from its origination through the American Windmill to the present day.

About Us:

The Kendallville Windmill Museum and Historical Society was incorporated in 1992 under the auspices of the Kendallville Local Development Corporation to create a tourist attraction for the area. The Board decided on the name "Mid-America Windmill Museum".

The museum is governed by a 21 member board of directors. The board members are elected by the dues paying members of the Kendallville Windmill Museum & Historical Society, and the officers are elected by the directors. The board of directors and volunteers restore and maintain the windmills, the buildings, the grounds, staff the gift shop, and serve as museum guides.

There are a total of fifty-two windmills that have been restored and are on exhibit in the museum barn or outside on the museum grounds. A highlight of the museum is a replica of the Robertson Post windmill, a single stone grist mill with a 52 foot diameter wind wheel. The original Robertson was shipped from England and erected on the James River near Jamestown, VA. in the 1620's.
