How’d you know?
Last week: “Dutch Mill” windmill, Hayden
The winner: Denise McDonald, Craig
Don Quixote would find his battle in the lovely northwest Colorado hamlet of Hayden. Located on the east end of Hayden on U.S. 40, the windmill was originally a restaurant called “The Dutch Mill.” I remember eating there in the early ’70s. It has since been a Dollar car rental office and most recently a candy shop.

This building served as a restaurant under several owners but never seemed to be able to make a go of it. It was my landmark to start slowing down on my way home from college in the ’70s, as the city police were very good at their jobs.
