"[This] historic fixture is the Wilson Windmill, which was declared an Alabama Historical Landmark in 2006. The windmill’s former home was at the corner of Eddins Road and the Cottonwood Road.

The Wilson Windmill dates back to 1930... The Sid Wilson family donated it to the Gardens.

The Wilson Windmill sits next to the Demonstration Garden."
