Washington's Headquarters/Miller Farmhouse

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Washington’s Headquarters Museum (The Miller House) is an 18^th-century style farmhouse that served as a command post for General George Washington during the Battle of White Plains in 1776. Among the items in the museum’s collection are colonial artifacts including the table and chair that were used by General Washington himself during his stay there.

The museum is the former home of the Ann and Elijah Miller family, an average Colonial Westchester family whose lives were changed forever when Washington and his army fought for American independence during the Battle of White Plains, which took place virtually outside their door in October of 1776. The home was acquired as a historic house by Westchester County in 1917.

The Miller House is located at 140 Virginia Road in North White Plains and can be reached via the Bronx River Parkway, exit 26, or by Route 22. It is also accessible by the Westchester County BEE-LINE Bus System and the Metro-North Commuter Railroad.

Email questions to mlbmillerhouse@verizon.net.  The Miller House is open the 3rd Sunday of each month through October from Noon till 3 pm.  Admission is free.
