The Windmill outside the Cowboy Cookout Restaurant in Frontierland at Disneyland Paris is an authentic one that dates back to the 1880's. Disney Imagineer, Pat Burke, visited the owner, who was Ninety Years Ol' at the time. Burke sat in the kitchen, admiring the Windmill, and asked the Man if he wanted to sell it. "Not really..." The man replied; "Every morning I look out at it, while I eat my breakfast. But the city would like me to get rid of it. Maybe, if you offered me a television, I'd agree". The sale was agreed on and the Windmill was installed at Disneyland Paris.
