Leverett S. Miller

Leverett Miller’s legacy is born of his extraordinary vision and unwavering effort to build the only Museum of Polo in the world. One of the original founders of the Museum in its infancy, he took the reins when Chairman Philip Iglehart passed. Lev was a steady force driving the construction of the Museum – putting up money, time and endless energy, and challenging others to do the same. In 1997 this magnificent monument to polo was completed and proudly serves as a home to the art treasures and historic content celebrating our sport. The dream had become a reality. Part of the Whitney family polo dynasty, Lev has donated and facilitated many of the Museum’s invaluable art treasures. Jack Oxley summed it up best stating “Lev grabbed that ball and ran it in for a touchdown.”
