==Landmarks== {{see also|Volendam Windmill}} The [[Volendam Windmill|Volendam Windmill Museum]] is a working mill driven by wind, used for grinding raw grain into flour. The {{convert|60|ft|m|adj=on}} structure is seven stories high with sail arms {{convert|68|ft|m}} from tip to tip, having been designed and constructed in 1965 by Paul and May Jorgenson, using windmills they had seen in [[Denmark]] and the [[Netherlands]] as models.<ref>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."</ref> The windmill is located on the {{convert|127|acres|adj=on}} Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Farm, a property that has been preserved, though the windmill itself is not part of the preservation agreement.<ref>[https://hunterdonlandtrust.org/building-the-volendam-windmill-in-holland-township/ "Building the Volendam Windmill in Holland Township"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213080021/https://hunterdonlandtrust.org/building-the-volendam-windmill-in-holland-township/ |date=February 13, 2018 }}, Hunterdon Land Trust, December 7, 2017. Accessed February 12, 2018. "Recently, Hunterdon Land Trust preserved 127 acres of the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Farm in Holland Township to ensure it would remain farmland for generations to come. This farm is also the site of the Volendam Windmill Museum, and although it’s not part of the preservation deal, the windmill and its construction is quite an interesting story, and serves as another example of our county’s rich cultural heritage."</ref>
