Mount Emblem Cemetery, Elmhurst, Il

This beautiful Windmill sits in Mount Emblem Cemetery in Elmhurst, Il.
It is the oldest standing windmill in Illinois and the only "Dutch Smock" style windmill in a North American cemetery and one of only a few dozen remaining in the US.
The cemetery was once a working farm. Construction on the windmill began in 1865 and took three years to complete. The structure was not made from local timber but prefabricated pieces ordered then shipped from Holland! Multiple additions were made to the windmill in the next 12 years by the original builder and then he sold the mill and 10 acres to another farmer in 1877.
Sometime between then and 1925 when the land was sold to the Mount Emblem Association, the mill ceased operations. The exact time is unknown, but when the cemetery association bought the land, it was said to have been still for many years.

Originally the association planned to demolish the windmill but later decided to renovate it to a museum.
The cemetery was not dedicated until June of 1936, having taken 11 years to transform the farmland into a beautifully landscaped setting.
For many years the windmill would play music over loudspeakers on Sundays!
The mill has had its challenges over the years with harsh storms causing damage to the structure several times. In 1990 a bad storm almost destroyed the entire mill. Each time a storm has damage the mill, the Mount Emblem association has restored and or renovated, even winning an award for their efforts in 1956. After the storm in '90 the mill was deemed to be unsafe and was closed to the public.
