About Millersville

Millersville is an unincorporated town in Anne Arundel County. It was named after George Miller, who was the first Postmaster in the first post office that was constructed in July 1841, along the Annapolis & Elkridge Railroad (the A & E). Completed in 1840, the A&E railroad was one of the earliest rail lines in the U.S. It connected Annapolis with the Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Today, Millersville is still a mostly suburban community consisting of many different types of neighborhoods and housing choices.

The residence consists of 3 buildings: a) a circa 1840 frame dwelling b) a circa 1840 frame smoke/dairy house and c) a circa 1920 frame store.
