Sightseeing in Westfield, New Jersey

The Miller-Cory House Museum is a story-and-a-half clapboard farmhouse with shingled roof, brace and beam construction and nogging filled walls. It was begun in 1740 at about the time Samuel Miller married his wife Sabra. Three sections were completed before Samuel Miller's death in 1782. The property came into the possession of Joseph Cory in 1784 and remained in the Cory family until 1921. The volunteers in this museum create a genuine experience of the 18th century, which includes demonstrating tasks and crafts of that time.

The Miller-Cory House Museum is open every Sunday, except holiday weekends, between two and four p.m. Weekday tours for school and community groups can be arranged by appointment.
