Grounds & Gardening Support:
Except for the lawn which is cut by a professional, all garden and grounds keeping is done by volunteers. There are 3 small flower beds which are weeded by volunteers. The Herb garden is maintained by one of the Girl Scout troops. The large trees have been on the property for several generations. Two smaller trees were planted as part of an Eagle Scout project. Three sides of the property contain shrubs. The Garden Club of Mt. Sinai has donated their time and expertise in cleaning up one of the borders. Plans to work on the other two borders during the winter and spring are in the planning stage. Click here to become a volunteer.

Children’s Programs:
History of Miller Place Field Study focuses on the local history of Miller Place by guiding students on a walking tour of the historic district which contains numerous examples of colonial architecture. The tour leads to the William Miller House. A docent led guide through this living museum provides students with an understanding of life in early America. Students are also invited to tour an historic barn filled with farming tools, cistern, corn cribs and a one room post office in use 1901-1913. Click here to become a volunteer.
