Our school tours meet standard requirements for 4th grade history studies. Those students study local founding of America, in this case, Long Island. Our tour/visitation allows students to visit a "Living Museum" with hands on opportunities to learn about colonial America from 1700's. The circa 1720 Wm Miller Home is the oldest existing home in Miller Place and is an excellent example of living history as it has not been renovated and portrays life as it truly existed in early America; as well as through additions to the home how life changed during different periods. The outbuildings are also prime examples of early LI life including the barn with different period farming equipment, the post office, etc... The students tour the house, visit the historic Long Island barn with our curator (which contains a treasure of Long Island farming tools and equipment), view the corn cribs, original outhouse, and the old post office from the days before home delivery. This historic campus provides a tremendous opportunity for students and moreover they participate in a guided walking tour of the historic district along North Country Road where many examples of early home architecture features exist, along with the original grind stone from the old Miller Place Mill. This historic district was the first such dedicated in Brookhaven and is on the New York State and Federal registers. It is truly a treasure and one your students can’t afford to miss!
