Saw in Fullerton Arboretum a Woodmansee Windmill.  It typically refers to the iconic galvanized-steel water-pumping windmills manufactured by the Woodmanse Manufacturing Company in Freeport, Illinois, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These antique mills are highly prized by collectors and agricultural historians for their unique oil-bath and back-geared designs.
