The Miller-Davidson house anchors the 22 acre historical park
at Old Falls
Village. Built in 1858 in the Greek Revival style popular at the time, the
house is built of locally quarried limestone with mortar lime coming from the
lime kilns. The Miller-Davidson House, original to the site, is special in many
ways beginning with an unusual arched foundation. In 1935 it was selected by
the Federal Government's Historic American Building Survey. And in 1973 the National
Register of Historic Places listed this beautiful early American farm home
among those to be preserved for future generations. The house has not been
restored to its original state but is presented as a house improved as
lifestyles improved. It now houses an eclectic decorative arts collection.
Old Falls Village
is located at the corner of Hwy. Q and Pilgrim Road in Menomonee Falls. See www.oldfallsvillage.com for more
