Villa Mira Monte

Project Description The Morgan Hill Historical Society operates and maintains the 2.5-acre site known as Villa Mira Monte, including the Hiram Morgan Hill House, Museum and Centennial History Trail. In 2017, the City entered into a partnership with the Historical Society to preserve the site and support the operation of the site as a park facility. This partnership included funding needed repairs and small-scale improvements. The Bikeways, Trails, Parks and Recreation (BTPR) Master Plan further calls for the future development of Villa Mira Monte. The City and Historical Society recently conducted a study on the current proposed site improvements for Villa Mira Monte. The study recommends moving forward with the Historical Society updating its strategic plan and vision. Following this update, it is recommended that the site master plan be updated. Moving forward with the design and construction would occur after evaluation of the updated site plan. In FY2021/22 funding for this update to the site master plan is identified. In addition to including enhancements to the historical resources at the site other considerations in the site master plan will include ongoing operations and maintenance.
