Summary
Beginning in at least 1890, The Kregel Wind Mill Company (then called the Nebraska City Manufacturing Company) began selling windmills in the Nebraska City area. Although their main product, the Eli windmill, was not widely marketed, the building (ca. 1905) is of special significance. The factory today remains completely intact with equipment and parts appearing as they probably did when the firm was in operation. This leaves the Kregel Wind Mill Building as a unique example of what was once an important part of the nation's history.
