Bring the family to discover the old style art of Silhouettes. Then tour the house museum and its grounds to see how early settlers of our area lived and cooked.
The museum is open from 2:00 -4:00 pm Sunday afternoons. Costumed docents are on hand to guide visitors through the 1740 farmhouse. Open-hearth cooking demonstrations are performed in the Frazee Building.
The museum office is open weekday mornings from 9 a.m.-noon. Built in 1740, the Miller-Cory House stands on the “road to the mountains” in the West Fields of Elizabeth. While the Millers and the Corys were rural farmers, they knew some degree of sophistication, for the West Fields were at the crossroads of colonial America on the Old York Road, the main road between New York from Philadelphia. Life was uniquely influenced then, even as it is today, by a location between the two major cities.

Today, the Miller Cory House is a nationally recognized “living museum”. On each open Sunday, visitors are introduced to an endless variety of colonial skills as trained artisans recreate the everyday life, the crafts, and the tasks of the 18th and early 19th Century farm Family.
Admission: $3.00 for adults; $1.00 for students; children under four are free.
