Mount Emblem Cemetery is located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and County Line Road in Elmhurst, Illinois. Despite noise from air traffic to O'Hare International and automobiles on I-294, the peaceful surroundings and carefully planned landscaping work to help visitors enjoy the tranquility of the 160-acre (0.65 km2) cemetery. Mount Emblem is perhaps best known as the home of the Fischer Windmill, popularly known as "The Old Dutch Mill", a typical Dutch windmill that towers above the trees and can be clearly seen from southbound I-294. Construction started on the mill in 1865, and the land became a cemetery in 1925, with the windmill becoming a museum. The latest renovations to the windmill were made in 2015. The tower is 51 feet (16 m) high. Sails were originally mounted on a latticework that spanned 74 feet (23 m), but now spans only 50 feet.
