The Morawa Museum’s collection of Australian made and imported windmills is steadily increasing and at the moment consists of over 40 different models in various states of restoration. As they are restored we mount them on short towers for display.
These windmills are representative of the actual mills used in this part of Texas. Each has been restored to the mills original condition and each functions as designed. Spend as much time as you wish, walk around or just drive thru. Some windmills are always in operation. New ones are being added as they are restored.
The American Wind Power Center, located in Lubbock, Texas, is an institution dedicated to the history and preservation of the American-style windmill, and furthering the awareness of the benefits of wind power.
The goal of the Mid-America Windmill Museum is to preserve the history of our culture from the evolution of wind power, through the working of the American Windmill, to today’s modern technology. Video presentations, personal tours of the working and still-life displays, photographs and informational areas, hands-on displays, and an on site library will give our visitors a variety of activities to utilize while learning about our past.
