The Flowerdew Hundred Postmill is now assembled on the grounds of the American Wind Power Center. Postmills were popular
in Europe and on the East Coast of the United
States as a means of grinding wheat and corn
into meal. The history of the
Flowerdew Hundred Postmill dates back to the
early 1600's. The American Wind Power
Center is very excited about being awarded this
impressive historic mill. The postmill is
scheduled to have its' own visitor center with
closed circuit TV so visitors can watch it grind
grain and corn. The history of the
windmill has come full circle at our very
special museum.
