ELI Installation
The "ELI" windmill across the street from the Kregel Windmill Factory Museum is an orginal "ELI" all steel with a 10' wheel and 30' tower. The Kregel Windmill Company did also build windmills with a 8'6" wheel and up to a 60' tower. However, the 10' wheel and 30' tower were the most common size produced in the Kregel Windmill Company factory. The "ELI" windmill was installed through the hard work of our dedicated volunteer group the Friends of Kregel.
Step inside the modest, one-story structure on Central Avenue in Nebraska City and you will enter a world that few have experienced; the manufacture of windmills as tools of modern technology circa 1902
