The fire that destroyed the historic windmill in Mennonite Heritage Village was deliberately set. Gary Snider is the executive director of the Heritage Village. He says the decision has already been made to salvage what's left and rebuild the structure. Snider says the structure was insured for a quarter of a million dollars, but will likely cost more to rebuild. A few other buildings in the village sustained minor damage.
Police say the fire was deliberately set.
