  • Why are there windmills in Golden Gate Park?

    No Reviews
    Favorite
    The two windmills on the western edge of Golden Gate Park originally pumped groundwater for park irrigation. The Dutch Windmill, and the Murphy Windmill located to the south, were completed in 1903 and 1908 respectively and operated until 1913 when electric water pumps were introduced. Both mills subsequently fell into disrepair but have since been restored with turning sails, and added to the San Francisco Designated Landmark list.
