Dan,
Many years ago i was involved in a cb club, we regularly put up and took down towers such as you described. We used a gin pole to erect and take down the towers. It is a piece of pipe strong enough to hold up one section (usually 10' long) with a pulley at the top and clamping mechanism on the bottom, just clamp it to the top of the last section when erecting and pull up the next section of tower and mount it on top of the last, then move the gin pole up to the top of the next section and repeat the process, reverse this process to take it down. Its fairly simple, it just takes someone thats not scared of heights and has the safety equipment needed (usually a safety belt was all we used). I would be wary of using this tower for a windmill of any type, it was built for antenna use only, if you do be sure to check out the specs. as to weight and stress the tower will take. It sounds like it would be a rohn 22 guage tower which was common for antennas. The previous posts are right as to the local ham club being glad to have the opportunity to obtain the tower. Maybe even buy it.
