Abstract:

Windmills used to be a common site in the Outer Banks of North Carolina until the early 20th century. In the 1970’s, one woman set out to build an exact replica using the same techniques as those from the 18th- and 19th centuries and set it up in Nags Head. It has since been restored and moved to Island Farm on Roanoke Island.
