This typical German settler's two-story log house, owned by Adam Miller before 1798, originally stood on a tract called Paradise about 10 miles from the Historical Center and was moved to this site in 1954. The 1798 direct tax identified Miller as a store owner and weaver, and he also served as a justice of the peace and as a representative to the Pennsylvania Assembly for Somerset County from 1798 to 1803. Its furnishings are typical of southwestern Pennsylvania homesteads in the early 1800s. The main floor served as a kitchen, bedroom, and workroom, while the second floor was used for storing food and housing the children, and the cellar's cool temperature helped preserve root crops, sauerkraut, cider, and other foods. Such a house was typically surrounded by herb and vegetable gardens, a small orchard, and fields. An original log smokehouse relocated from a farm in Southampton Twp. was used to preserve hams, bacon, and sausage by hanging them over a smoldering fire, and few examples of this kind of structure survive. A summer kitchen provided separate space for preserving foods, cooking meals, churning butter, and doing laundry, and a double-crib log barn sheltered animals and stored grain; these two structures were constructed by the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps.
