Villa Mira Monte

Once the home of orchardist John Acton, and his family, this 1911 Craftsman style home was built at 170 Warren Avenue near Nob Hill. Eventually acquired by Chris and Ida Williams, it was donated it to the City in 1980 for use as a community museum. In 1983 the Morgan Hill Historical Society moved it to Main Street near City Hall where it was open until 2005 when it was once again moved to make way for a new library. Now located at Villa Mira Monte, it gives a sense of life Morgan Hill in the 1930’s. The Museum is a repository for archives and object collections, including artifacts, maps, photos, manuscripts, clippings and memorabilia. Special exhibits are rotated on a yearly basis.
