This activity book provides hours of fun and education with 48
drawings of windmills from around the world to color. The mills
were built in the 1700s and 1800s. Many have been restored for
visitors today. Learn a little history for each mill, from New
England, the American Midwest, West Coast, Texas, Maryland, and
Virginia, and across the Atlantic to mills in Belgium, France, the
Netherlands, Ireland, England, Portugal, and Greece. Together with
your children, learn curious facts, including the tallest windmill
in the United States, windmills with eight arms, and with sails
hung on the arms to catch the wind. An elderly New England miller
once had to be rescued while attaching sails because he forgot to
set the brake and the arms started turning while he was on them.
Middle grades-ages 8-12.
