Historia / History: The Washington County Historical Society was founded in 1911. Early projects included the purchase and restoration of several locations which have become either state or national landmarks, including certain parts of the Antietam National Battlefield. In 1966, the WCHS acquired the Miller House, and set about furnishing the home to act as a community museum that highlights local history. With governmental protections for historic properties, the Washington County Historical Society refocused on preservation and conservation through outreach and education.
