Re: Windmill attractions around Texas: Dublin, Comanche, Austin?

In Comanche there is a windmill at their History Museum put up by Cliff Conway. Are you driving from Washington or flying in. If driving there is a windmill farm close to Granbury in Tolar and of course there is Lubbock with plenty of windmills to see.
