  • The blades on a windmill are around 100 ft from the top blade tip to bottom blade tip
  • I saw this basket and I am sure it is the kind that baby Moses was put in on the Nile River.

  • The Miller would climb the blades to attach sails (like canvas) to catch the wind. Amount of sail based on strength of the wind.
  • The Miller used this wheel to move the windmill blades.
  • The huge wooden cog wheel inside the windmill. Steps going up beside it.
  • One of the beds used by the family.
