The wind was blowing the snow around today, so it probably could have turned this old windmill which was built by a Finnish immigrant and homesteader, Jacob Davidson. It is one of a very few grist mills in the Midwest, and the only one in Wisconsin known to be of Finnish origin. The mill built in 1900, sitting on a bluff overlooking the Amnicon River, was used for milling local grains from 1904 to 1926. The windmill located near Lakeside, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
