Fairbury Windmill

The Fairbury No. 33 was manufactured in Fairbury, Neb. until the late 1940's and took its name from that place. Known as “the New Deal windmill” during the depressed economic conditions of the 1930's, it was produced in 6 and 8 foot sizes as a cheaper version of the Fairbury No. 7 that “kept the boys working” through the Depression. The Fairbury No. 33 was identical to the Fairbury No. 7 except for the inscription on the vane sheet, No. 33, along with an abbreviated name and location of the manufacturer.
