Chesterton Windmill has sat on a hill in Warwickshire for nearly 400 years, but its sails were removed in 2021 after cracks appeared in the wood.

Although there have been a lot of changes and/or rumored changes within the VA, I want to take a moment to relay that the Secretary of the VA has ensured that veterans’ benefits will not be cut or adjusted. That also goes for medical benefits. The Clinton County VA assistance and work we put towards the veterans of Clinton County will also not be impacted by anything happening at the federal level because we are an entity of the county, not federal employees.
