Preservation in Action: Preparing for the Future

This year, the Miller Committee undertook a significant effort to prepare the William Miller House for a new Conservation Plan. Their work included:

Cleaning and Conservation: Carefully cleaning and conserving the house and its artifacts to ensure their integrity and longevity.

Room Resets: Resetting the rooms to better align with the goals of preservation and historical accuracy.

These efforts reflect the committee’s commitment to safeguarding this 300-plus-year-old historic home and its artifacts, ensuring that they can be cherished by future generations for another 300 years.

Through meticulous care and planning, the William Miller House continues to serve as a living testament to our community’s rich history.

Thank you to our Grant Sponsors

The Society has received a Preservation Supply Grant from the NYSCA GHHN Conservation Grant Program which enabled us to purchase 3 dehumidifiers and 2 air circulators to help reduce the humidity in the William Miller House thereby helping us to preserve the interior of this facility.

Further, the Society has received a Site Assessment Grant from the NYSCA/GHHN Conservation Grant Program. This Grant will pay for a visit by a collections consultant to discuss specific areas of stewardship, including identifying collections issues and prioritizing basic steps to improve the care.

This is administered by Greater Hudson Heritage Network GHHN, the NYSCA/GHHN Conservation Grant Program. Preservation Supply Grant is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional funding from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation supports projects from Long Island and New York City.
