Batavia IL is known as the “Windmill City” after the windmill manufacturers located here in the late 1800s who manufactured 10,000s of windmills that were shipped across the Great Plains during America’s westward expansion. The Batavia City Hall has a number of restored windmills located in a park along the Fox River, it’s really amazing how large some of these windmills are up close.
Today the downtown area of Batavia is undergoing a significant renovation. The beautiful mansions just west of the river are being restored to their former glory. Homes that were once comfortable bungalows for the working class are affordable starter homes located on quiet tree-lined streets,
