The Miller-Cory House is a story-and-a-half clapboard farmhouse with shingled roof, brace and beam construction, and nogging-filled walls typical of an average New Jersey homestead of the mid-18th century. It was begun in 1740, at the time Samuel Miller married his wife Sabra. Three sections were completed before Samuel Miller's death in 1782. The property came into the possession of Joseph Cory in 1784, and remained in the Cory family until 1921. Today, the Miller-Cory House is a nationally recognized living museum. It has been certified as an historic site and has been entered on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. It is the focus of the Miller-Cory House museum to effectively create the atmosphere of an 18th-century farm in the midst of suburban, metropolitan New Jersey. On Sundays, costumed docents describe 18th-century life as they guide guests through the house. Visitors are introduced to a variety of colonial skills as trained artisans recreate the crafts and tasks of the 18th- and early 19th-century farm family.

The site offers tours, living history demonstrations, and educational and recreational programs.

The Society owns and maintains several historical sites, including the 1742 Square Tavern, the 1860 Bartram Bridge, and the Paper Mill House Museum. This building provided housing, beginning in the 1770s, for industrial workers who worked in the mills along Darby Creek. A large addition was added circa 1820. The older section was converted to a general store, circa 1845, to provide for the needs of the workers. Darby Creek runs through the property to the east of the building. The building, now owned by Newtown Township, has been restored to house permanent historical exhibits.
