The total height to the tip of the upright blade is 124', giving the Vermeer Mill
the distinction of being the tallest working windmill the United States. It was built in the Netherlands, shipped to Pella and assembled by Dutch craftsmen.
Little Man at the wheel of the mill. I had no idea the miller would
turn the entire cap of the windmill according to wind speed and direction.
That's a huge peice of machernery. Husband explained to Little Man how it works.
Mr. Vermeer's first round baler.
