Windmills were the driving force that made settlement possible on the Panhandle-Plains. Take a look at the two most popular windmills on farms and ranches across the area—the solid-wheel Star windmill and the ubiquitous Eclipse windmill, which could be ordered in 16- or 35-foot diameters. Explore the details of our replica windmillers’ camp, which includes an authentic wagon used on the legendary XIT Ranch. A unique addition to this exhibit is an electricity-generating windcharger built soon after World War I, one of the first windmills developed for that purpose.
