Windmill Campaign Receives Funding

(Fall, 2003)



Steering Committee members from the Campaign to Save the Golden Gate Park Windmills visited windmill restorer Lucas Verbij in Holland to inspect his restoration process, observe working windmills and seek financial support for the project from interested Dutch affiliations.  The Campaign to Save the Golden Gate Park Windmills received an infusion of $750,000 in August via a grant from the California State Coastal Conservancy.  These monies, combined with other funds, will not only repair the now dismantled South (Murphy)Windmill and the Dutch (North)Windmill, but also provide for fresh landscaping and pathways to connect the two windmills.  Major fundraising efforts continue.  San Francisco Beautiful serves on the Steering Committee of the Campaign to Save the Golden Gate Park Windmills.  For information about the campaign, see www.goldengateparkwindmills.org.
