The Rich History of Miller's Hill Farm

A family legacy spanning over 75 years, from naval service to memorable weddings and events. Discover the story behind our beloved venue.

A Family Legacy

Miller's Hill Farm has been in our family for over 75 years. Our grandfather, Jack Miller, purchased the land with a cabin upon returning to Lummi Island after completing his naval service during World War II.

It wasn't long after that he met our grandmother, eighteen-year-old Lucille Adema, from Clear Lake, Washington, and together they built a life and legacy that continues today.
