The nominated area is about 7 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the farm is a remarkably intact example of a self-sufficient nineteenth-century Ohio farm. No single building is architecturally outstanding, but together the buildings and their tools and artifacts show a rural way of life that was disappearing. The farm has stayed in one family since the 1806 land patent.","narrative":"Miller Farm is a cluster of nineteenth-century farm buildings about 2 miles southeast of Baltimore, Ohio. The land was patented in 1806 and has stayed in one family since. The complex includes a farmhouse begun around 1830 and enlarged between 1840 and 1905, a bank barn with brick and walnut siding, a summerhouse, springhouse, smokehouse, blacksmith shop, buggy shed, machine shed, hog shed, chicken coop and a family cemetery with gravestones from 1817. The buildings still hold tools and utensils for butchering, smoking meat and blacksmithing. Although none of the buildings is outstanding architecturally, the group is unusually intact. Together with family letters, receipts and financial records, it shows how the farm supplied its own lumber, livestock, dairy products, grain, apples and maple sugar, and how tools were made and repaired on site. The farm is valued as a reminder of a self-sufficient rural lifestyle that faded as farming became mechanized.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied, privately owned farm.
