2008 Miller in May Home and Garden Tour

The 2008 Miller in May Home and Garden Tour is happening this Saturday from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. The Miller Neighborhood is bounded by Villa and May (East and West) and 10th and 16th (North and South). The area is one of Oklahoma City's Centennial Neighborhoods - beginning in 1907. This is the 10th Annual Home and Garden Tour and a time when the Miller Neighborhood Association will be celebrating 25 years! Here is a bit from a recent NewsOK.com article... The mansion was once home to the George and Nellie Miller family, for whom the Miller neighborhood was named. It is one of 10 homes that will be open May 19 to celebrate the Miller Centennial Ninth Annual Home and Garden Tour. As part of the celebration, the neighborhood also is holding its Third Annual "Art on the Boulevard” with area artists displaying their works in the median of Miller Boulevard. The 160-acre farm now known as the Miller neighborhood was first purchased by Luke Ellison in 1890 for $200. It changed hands several times before George and Nellie Miller bought it in 1901. In 1905, Miller started platting the area, which now is bounded by NW 10 and NW 16, May Avenue and Villa Avenue. The final platting was completed in 1907, just months before Oklahoma statehood. Miller donated two strips of land for the use of the Oklahoma Railway, which connected the neighborhood to virtually all parts of the growing Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The Linwood streetcar line ran in the middle of the median of NW 12 all the way through the neighborhood. Its location meant no resident of Miller was more than three blocks from transportation. The article goes on and is worth the read. This is a great event to attend and will give you a chance to see some of the heart of Oklahoma City living.
