Green Meadows, to the west, was the home of German emigrant Adam Miller, one of the first Europeans to settle in the Shenandoah Valley. Records suggest that he arrived in this area from Pennsylvania late in the 1720s. In 1742 Gov. William Gooch naturalized Miller (originally Mueller) as a subject of King George II. Miller bought the 820-acre Green Meadows property early in the 1740s and built a small log house. A larger house was constructed by about 1800. The property remained in the Miller family until 1936.
