Volendam Windmill is a smock mill located on Adamic Hill Road in Holland Township, New Jersey, United States.

The windmill was designed and built in 1965 by Paul and May Jorgenson, using windmills they had seen in Denmark and The Netherlands as models.Salgado, Robert J. [https://www.nytimes.com/1982/07/11/nyregion/dutch-windmill-in-hunterdon-is-a-museum.html "Dutch Windmill In Hunterdon Is A Museum"], The New York Times, July 11, 1982. Accessed May 4, 2023. "It is with great pride that Mr. Jorgensen leads visitors through his full-size replica of a Dutch windmill. He built it himself with the help of his wife, May. The windmill is 60 feet high and has sail arms of 68 feet from tip to tip.... The windmill here is patterned after several that Mr. and Mrs. Jorgensen visited and measured in the Netherlands and Denmark before they started building it in 1965."{{cite web|url=http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/HillSlugs/HillSlugChronicles.pdf|title=The Windmill, Then and Now|publisher=}} The Volendam Windmill Museum is a working mill driven by wind, used for grinding raw grain into flour. The 60-foot structure is seven stories high with sail arms 68 feet from tip to tip.[http://www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/mun/holland.htm Hunterdon County web page for Holland Township], accessed February 20, 2009 In 2007, two of the sail arms of the windmill were damaged in a windstorm. As of 2021, the county's website shows that the museum is closed.{{cite web
