Work continues at the historic 1720 William Miller House!
Week 3 Restoration Update

The William Miller House is beginning to show its true colors.

Our primer and stains are coming in strong, while the foundation work is on track to be completed this week. Every brushstroke and every stone brings this 1720 landmark one step closer to welcoming the community again.

As the old saying might have gone if colonial carpenters had Facebook: a house is only as good as the foundation it stands on. Ours has been standing for more than 300 years, and we're making sure it's ready for 300 more.

History isn't just repeating itself, it's getting a fresh coat.

Thank you to everyone following along and supporting the restoration of the William Miller House. Stay tuned for next week's update as the transformation continues.

A Note to Our Friends and Neighbors:

We're thrilled that so many people are excited to see the restoration of the 1720 William Miller House. Your enthusiasm reminds us just how much this historic landmark means to our community.
For now, however, the house is still under restoration and remains an active construction site. As much as we'd love to welcome everyone inside, we'll have to ask for a little Revolutionary patience.
Until the work is complete, the property is closed to the public. Please do not enter the grounds, open the gates, or visit the work site without prior authorization. Our restoration team needs a safe, secure environment to preserve this nearly 300-year-old treasure, and limiting access helps protect both the craftsmen and the building itself.
Think of it this way: George Washington had to wait for Yorktown before celebrating, and we'll all have to wait just a little longer before celebrating the reopening of the William Miller House.
We promise the wait will be worth it. When the restoration is complete, we'll proudly open the gates and welcome everyone back to experience the next chapter in the history of the William Miller House.
Until then, thank you for your patience, your support, and for helping us preserve a piece of our shared history.

--Message to our Community--
As we continue this 12-week program, we invite the Mount Sinai community to step into a story rooted close to home. The narrator and her family were real residents of Mount Sinai, and this journal is inspired by their lives and world. While the diary entries themselves are imagined, they are set within real dates, places, events, and people that shaped our town during the American Revolution.

As we approach the nation’s 250th birthday, these reflections ask us to remember not only independence, but what it cost families here—in sacrifice, endurance, and loss. Through one household’s story, we honor the shared history that helped shape Mount Sinai and the country we live in today. **NOTE although Mount Sinai (the name) was not in use until 1841 we chose not to use the original name of the hamlet , which was Old Mans.
