Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Windmill at the Mennonite Heritage Village Museum with additional information or photos.

The windmill at the Manitoba Heritage Village Museum is the only fully operational windmill in Canada with the flour being sold at the museum.

The windmill was designed with a fan tail, a feature not commonly seen on windmills in North America. Visitors can view the interior of the windmill and, when wind conditions permit, watch the windmill in operation.
