Mission Statement

The mission of the Milton Historical Society is to encourage appreciation of, and promote knowledge of, the historical and cultural heritage of the Town of Milton

Vision Statement

The Milton Historical Society will be an educational resource, a leader in the preservation of local history, and an integral part of the community, collaborating with other historical organizations in the area, working together for mutual assistance and for the benefit of local history.

Welcome to the Milton Historical Society web site. At this site you will have the opportunity to learn about the many exciting projects our group has completed in the past, are currently undertaking, and are proposing to undertake in the near future.

The Milton Historical Society is a Charitable Organization with a mandate to preserve the heritage of the Town of Milton. We welcome new members.
