Photo Hunt: Where in Troy is This Landmark Windmill?
Let's play a game. I took a photo in town Tuesday. You guess where I took it.
It may be tough to imagine on the ultra-modern Big Beaver Road that we drive on today, but the area used to be used as farmland. In fact, the former Troy Township was well-known for its excellent corn, wheat, melons and other fruits as well as wool and dairy products.
(All credit to the Troy Historic Village for that cool piece of history!)
Once part of a working farm, this landmark windmill is no longer used for power. Can you guess where I took this picture on Troy's main thoroughfare?
