Geocache Description:

I placed this cache here for folks who are not familiar with the area, so they might learn a little about the history of my hometown! In addition to the man this cache is named after, every individual at this location contributed in some way to the community, so please take a few minutes to contemplate the lives of everyone here. I'm only including the most basic information, so please, do some research and learn more about the town! The site is closed from sundown till sunup. BYOP!

Adam Miller (Mueller) is recognized as the first permanent white settler in the Shenandoah Valley. He emigrated from Schriesheim, Germany to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, then in 1727 to the Shenandoah Valley; his year of settlement is confirmed in a 1742 naturalization proclamation by Governor Gooch. The land which Miller lived on contained the spring known as Bear Lithia Spring. Miller served in Lt. Bingaman's Company during the French and Indian War. He lived on his property in Rockingham County until his death in 1783.
