[1]Added to NRHP: August 3, 1979 Davidson Windmill is a historic windmill in Superior, Wisconsin.[2]
The windmill was built in 1900 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Built by Finnish immigrant and homesteader, Jacob (Jaako Tapola) Davidson, the Davidson Windmill is one of a very few grist mills in the Midwest, and the only one in Wisconsin known to be of Finnish origin. It sits on a bluff overlooking the Amnicon River and served Old-Brule and Lakeside in the South Shore region from 1904 to 1926. Constructed of native materials, it was used for milling locally grown grains for both animal and human consumption.
