It is known as the House of Miller at Millbach and is owned by the Millbach Foundation run by Earle (Chip) and Yvonne Henderson, the same owners who restored the nearby Charming Forge twelve miles away which is currently for sale.George Miller deeded the house, mill, and 144 acres to his son Michael (1732-1815) in 1753.
