Miller Homestead, building in Arkansas, United States
The Miller Homestead is a residential building in Pea Ridge, Arkansas, built around 1907 and reflecting late Victorian style. The one-and-a-half-story wood house features an asymmetrical shape and wraparound porch, while an old stone smokehouse dating to around 1890 stands nearby on the property.
The house was built around 1907 and shows how Victorian architectural trends reached rural Arkansas areas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, joining about 35 historic properties and districts in the county that document the region's past.
The homestead is named after the Miller family, who were part of the local community for many years. The house reflects how rural residents in Arkansas built their homes with practical designs and simple details that fit their daily needs.
The property sits on Benton County Route 64, also known as Lee Town Road, in a rural setting with open fields and gentle hills surrounding it. Visitors can walk around the house and nearby smokehouse to observe the woodwork and porch details up close in this quiet outdoor environment.
The stone smokehouse on the property dates to around 1890 and is older than the main house itself. This small building reveals how families stored meat before modern refrigeration and shows one often-overlooked detail of how daily life and food preservation worked.
