President's Message: Meadowcroft's 50th Season

Abstract

In 1969, after years of collecting artifacts and moving historic buildings to the site, Miller realized his dream. He built an entire 19th-century village on his farm, including log houses, a covered bridge, a blacksmith's shop, and a one-room schoolhouse for visitors to tour. 

He and his brother, Delvin, combined the names Meadowlands (Delvin's farm) and Bancroft (the old family farm) to name the site Meadowcroft.
