Elk Horn IA Windmill

We stopped in Elk Horn, IA to check out their authentic windmill.  Elk Horn is the largest rural Danish community outside of Denmark.  In two years the small town raised $100,000 and recruited 300 volunteers to locate, purchase, move and rebuild a windmill.  This is what they found, shipped from Denmark in 1975.  Shipping across the ocean alone costed $8,000 USD.
