Summary

Description
English: Picture of the James Miller House (aka "Stone Manse") at the Oliver Miller Homestead located at 1 Stone Manse Drive in South Park Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on November 14, 2009. The property on which this house sits was first settled by Oliver Miller in 1772. Oliver's youngest son James inherited the property in 1782. James was married in 1787 and had eight children. In 1794, the first fired gunshots of the Whiskey Rebellion occurred on the property. On July 15, 1794, two Federal revenue officers served a writ on William Miller (James' brother), but, after leaving the paper, they were met by an armed group of his neighbors. A shot was heard as the Federal revenue officers rode off, but neither man was injured. The family was later pardoned for any role they may have played in the rebellion. In 1808, James added a stone section to the original log house that his father had built. This addition met their needs until 1830, when James' son Oliver, and his wife, came to live with them. At this time, the log house was replaced with a large stone section making it the farmhouse as it stands today. Five generations of Millers lived at this homestead until 1927, when Allegheny County purchased the land from the last remaining Miller descendant for the formation of South Park. Today, the homestead is a public museum that commemorates pioneer settlers of Western Pennsylvania, and the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
