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.[1][2] 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.[3] 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.[4]
