The Dutch Windmill was built in 1902 and was designed to pump irrigation water to a reservoir on Strawberry Hill. The windmill had fallen into disrepair until funds were raised and it was restored in 1981. No longer needed for irrigation, the windmill stands as a remembrance of the past.
Future Rehabilitation
Plans are in the works for a redesign of the area encompassing the Dutch and Murphy Windmills. Visitors will be able to enjoy a stroll along a processional canal walk. As well as framing views, the corridors will provide an experience of moving back and forth from an enclosed space to an open one.
