Review:
Danish Windmill Museum and Welcome Center is a museum in Elk Horn that celebrates the Danish Windmill, the only authentic working windmill in the country. Built in Norre Snede in 1848, the windmill was moved to Elk Horn in the United States in 1975 and still stands today. The museum brings the windmill to life with an array of exhibits and displays showcasing the history of the windmill and its status as a valuable historical resource. The center also celebrates America's rural cultural, ethnic heritage and has a section called the VikingHjem, which depicts the life of a Viking blacksmith in 900 AD, complete with blacksmith shop and woodworking area where demonstrations and lectures are held.
