We had a busy day yesterday as we welcomed back the Monitor Windmill after much needed restoration. The windmill was damaged in a wind storm in the spring of 2022. Thank you to Ivan Block and his team (brother & nephew!) from Wausau for their amazing work. Thank you to Ralph Mumm and Randy Hampton for their assistance. Findorff Construction repaired the base and will be back soon to paint!
