Jim Brandl, a volunteer miller at Vermeer Windmill, walks up uncountable flights of narrow wooden stairs \u2014 slowly making his way to the top of the largest windmill in North America. The miller\u2019s control center is 124 feet in the air \u2014 and two elephants could easily fit inside. Today, Brandl is leading a tour. His voice bounces back from the circular walls as he tells tourists about the history of the Vermeer Windmill. \u201cThe Vermeer Mill is an amazing example of Dutch craftsmanship and engineering,\u201d he says. \u201cWe often think our ancestors of 150 years ago were backwards and did not have the technology and expertise that we have today, but the mill certainly contradicts that perception.\u201d<\/p>\n
