In Memory of Jim Olson

Before modern water systems were available, one thousand two hundred water-pumping windmills served the Irvine Ranch. This windmill was one of them. Jim Olson, a long-time employee of Irvine Ranch Water District, was responsible for dismantling and reconstructing it numerous times as it was moved to various locations to preserve a piece of local history, and it remains a remembrance of him.
