The Windmill was built in 1896 as part of the estate of John R. Oughton, one of the founders of the Kelley Institute. Originally called the pumping tower, it was built by the US Wind, Engine & Pump Company of Batavia, Illinois.

The well is 840’ deep and contains an 88-barrel cypress tank at the top of the structure. The windmill pumped water for the entire estate. The Windmill has stood above the skyline of Dwight for over 110 years. It was placed on the “National Register of Historic Places” on September 23, 1980.

Built in 1951 by Clarence Gall, this gymnasium is up for Historic Preservation in Kankakee County Illinois due to its rare engineering and architectural design. Since its construction, the gym has undergone very little change. The barrel-vaulted roof, with ribs of glue-laminated wood is in great condition, as is the original wooden floating floor.

For 37 years it was home to the Reddick High School Bulldogs sports teams in the R.U.C.E. (Reddick, Union Hill, Campus and Essex) Community School District and later for the Reddick Grade School as part of the Herscher School District.
