Elijah Miller House

The Elijah Miller House in North White Plains, New York, began as an 18th-century farmhouse, probably built in 1738 by John Miller and later enlarged by his son Elijah and daughter-in-law Anne Fisher Miller after they moved there in 1770. During the Revolutionary War, the family suffered repeated losses as Elijah Miller and two of his sons died while serving. Widowed Anne Miller hosted George Washington at the house three times, including during the Battle of White Plains, giving the home its enduring wartime importance. Preserved by Westchester County since 1917, it survives as both a Washington headquarters site and a rare link to the wartime experience of an ordinary colonial family.
