The Holmes-Hendrickson House is a Dutch-Flemish farmhouse at 62 Longstreet Road in Holmdel Township, New Jersey, built around 1754 by William Holmes, a descendant of early settlers Obadiah Holmes and Cornelius Hendrickson, who soon sold it to his cousin Garret Hendrickson. After passing through several owners following Garret's 1801 death, the property was bought by Bell Labs in 1929, and the Monmouth County Historical Association relocated the house to its present site in 1959 to save it from demolition during construction of the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex; ownership passed to the Monmouth County Park System in 2019. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 for its agricultural and architectural significance, the house is now a museum operated jointly by the park system and the historical association.
