Today visitors to Millertown can see the only two landmarks of the Lewis Miller era that are left, they stand as a reminder of the first planned community built in central Newfoundland. One of the two steam engines still stands on the shoreline where the sawmill once operated. The community church is the only building, built by Lewis Miller that still stands on the hill overlooking the town and is still used for the purpose it was built.3
