The Miller Cabin complex consists of three buildings that were the residence of Robert A. Miller, the first superintendent of
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in what became the National Elk Refuge. The buildings are a component of the closely related Grace and Robert Miller Ranch.[2]
Robert Miller was born at
Yellowstone Timberland Reserve to be administrator of the Teton Division of the reserve from 1903, running the operation from his cabin.[3][4]
As a result of local rancher, photographer and Wyoming legislator S.N. Leek's efforts, the National Elk Refuge was established in 1912 from nearly 2,000 acres (810 ha) of Miller's land, and was administered from the house adjoining Miller's cabin.[3]
The original cabin was Miller's home during his time with the Forest Service. The adjoining two-story house was used as the headquarters for the National Elk Refuge in its early years.
