Did you know that in Lakeside, Wisconsin, United States, there's a veritable throwback to the 1900s? Yep, a historic windmill bearing the name Davidson Windmill, cataloged as such a long time ago, making it onto the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was built by the enterprising Jacob Davidson, and it still stands tall today, a living reminder of that era, showcasing a bygone industrial legacy. In 1915, this grist mill stopped spinning, but throw it a good gust of wind, and it'd start twirling again.
