Villa Mira Monte, National Historic Place in Morgan Hill, United States.
Villa Mira Monte displays Queen Anne and Stick/Eastlake architectural elements with a two-story structure featuring ornate wooden details and wraparound porches.
Built in 1886 by Hiram Morgan Hill for Diana Murphy Hill, this residence led train conductors to announce 'Morgan Hill's' when stopping, giving the town its name.
The Morgan Hill Historical Society maintains the property as a museum with collections of local artifacts, photographs, manuscripts, and regional memorabilia.
Visitors can take guided tours of the house and museum every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 17860 Monterey Road.
The property includes a Centennial History Trail with markers chronicling 100 significant events in local, state, and national history through rose gardens.
