The William Miller Farm is a historic farm property on County Road 11 in Hampton, New York. It is a historic district that encompasses the home of William Miller, who was a Baptist preacher credited with beginning the mid-nineteenth century North American religious movement that was known as the Millerites. After his prophetic interpretations did not happen as he expected, new heirs of his message emerged, including Seventh-day Adventists and Advent Christians. Later movements found inspiration in Miller's emphasis on Bible prophecy. The property includes Miller's farmhouse, a chapel he built for Adventist worship, and Ascension Rock, the place where some of his followers gathered to await the Second Advent on October 22, 1844.
