Over two centuries of colorful
history surround this beautiful country catering establishment.
Once owned by an English captain, Revolutionary War tales of
pirating and buried treasure linger on.
The late 18th century
brought a luxurious but infamous lifestyle to the property with
the building of a mansion the style of New York City, complete
with double parlors, huge mirrors, solid mahogany doors and
gold-leafed chandeliers. This wealthy owner's quest for
opulence included fine horses and not a small amount of scandal
in his personal life.
Arson claimed the original
mansion, but the big barn with its handsome cupola was joined to
a smaller building in the 1930's and Miller Place Inn became a
haven for summer tourists.
Today, nestled in a quiet
setting of beautiful lawns and gardens, it is an elegant
reminder of the past for gracious weddings in the gazebo, Bar
Mitzvahs, reunions an social luncheons in the French country
manner.
