Long Description:
Back in the day a fairly prosperous settler might be able to purchase a windmill head and set it on a wooden tower like this one, to pull water from deep underground for thirsty people and horses and cattle and crops.

It is on display behind the one-room schoolhouse on the grounds of the Armstrong Historical Museum in Claude.
