Report any Windmills in your travel, and we're talking about the (Dutch or Holland) kind, not the newest turbine windmills used for electricity generation. However, I guess we could always start one for those as they're call Wind Farms!
I grew up near this one, located between Batavia/Geneva Illinois at Fayban Park Forest Preserve.

Even after the British took over New York from the Dutch, the Dutch still retained ownership of Long Island. There are still a number of windmills ther.

Dutch Windmills in the US
This one is in Holland, MI. It was dis-assembled in the Netherlands and re-assembled in MI. The only windmill allowed to be taken out of the Netherlands.
http://www.cityofholland.com/Brix?pageID=111
This one was built by a company from the Netherlands. All the components were manufactured in the Netherlands and shipped to IL for assembly on site.
