I have access to this decorative windmill. It’s been in place for decades, spins freely in the wind, and has made millions of revolutions in its lifetime. Its RPM’s are impressive even in relatively low wind.

What are your thoughts on how I should harness this energy?

Replace the base with a solar panel. You won’t get any meaningful power out of that tiny blade setup from wind.
