The Vogel Old Mill was built in 1967 by Andrew Vogel, the founder of Diamond Vogel Paint and a Dutch immigrant himself. The windmill represents a typical workplace and home in the Netherlands and illustrates how the power of the wind was harnessed by generations of Dutchmen. Everything within the Vogel Old Mill is genuine or recreated in typical Dutch fashion with many of the artifacts on display brought over from the Netherlands or donated by Andrew Vogel.
The Vogel Old Mill stands 50 feet tall with 16-foot blades, which always rotate in a counterclockwise direction. This mill could produce up to 20 gallons of paint a time.
