Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Welcome to the forum Michael, here in NY we have a covered bridge that is the oldest bridge in the U.S. and the longest covered bridge in the world. I love old Bridges too.

They did make a Freeport windmill for a few years but never have seen one"Maybe".?

Never have seen a Stover tailvane like that Mike,i have seen where some companies built windmills for other manufacturers and the tailvane was different or power mills too "Maybe".
