Lubbock: FUN FACT
Billie Wolfe, a faculty member of Texas Tech’s College of Home Economics, realized that the windmills were rapidly disappearing from many housing designs in the mid-sixties. She and Coy Harris, a Lubbock native, established the American Windmill Museum as a non-profit organization to help diverse audiences explore how people have used and continue to use their human ingenuity in harnessing the wind to live in varied environments. The organization is now a permanent resident of the City of Lubbock and has over 170 rare and fully-restored windmills—the world's largest public collection of restored windmills. The American Windmill Museum is internationally recognized as the place to visit for observing windmills and wind chargers, photographing groups of windmills, and serving as the educational facility where the windmill’s heritage can be seen and heard.
