Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

The windmill was constructed over a stone-lined well, which was probably constructed in the 1880s. Projecting stones form steps down into the well-a common European construction technique. In contrast, the three wells at Scorpion have no stone steps.
