Come on down to 51 Miller St, to explore the historical home of Enola Miller on Jun 14th from 10 a.m. to 2p.m.

The Historical Society of East Pennsboro is proud to announce a special event celebrating the restoration and refurnishing of the historic Enola Miller House. 

The community is invited to join the celebration, which will feature food for purchase such as hot dogs and cookies and lemonade and iced tea for refreshments. The event will also feature live music, guided tours of the house and museum, and remarks from special guest speakers ranging from your very own Jim Leonard to the State Representative. This event marks a major milestone in the society’s efforts to preserve and honor the history of East Pennsboro Township. 

The Enola Miller House, built in 1841 by Henry Longsdorf using stone from nearby Blue Mountain, is the oldest standing building in East Pennsboro Township. It is famously known as the birthplace of Enola Miller, the girl for whom the town of Enola and the Enola Rail Yard were named. 

Recognized for its historical significance, the house was added to the Cumberland County Register of Historic Places in 2018. When development threatened its future, the community rallied together to save it. In April 2021, Wolfe House & Building Movers successfully relocated the 430-ton stone house approximately 1,300 feet to its new location at 51 Miller Street. This achievement was made possible through donated land from the Capital Area Intermediate Unit and strong support from the Historical Society of East Pennsboro.
