From the Bob Evans web site:

"The windmill has been a familiar landmark for passersby since it was reconstructed on the farm in 1971. It was built by James Beam, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, as a replica of windmills found in Holland. It originally housed French burr stones that were powered by the wind to grind grain for livestock. The 20-foot blades were imported from Holland."
