Authentic Dutch Windmill
Fulton’s authentic Dutch windmill, “De Immigrant”, was prefabricated in the Netherlands and erected by Dutch craftsmen. The windmill sits on the flood control dike right in the heart of the city.
The windmill is fully operational. The entire head (or cap) can turn and the sails move by wind power. The mill is also fully functional with a set of blue basalt millstones that can produce a variety of flours. Stone-ground buckwheat, corn, rye, and wheat flours are all manufactured at “De Immigrant” and are for sale in the gift shop.
