Welcome

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.

1st MHS Board Meeting in 1977 (35 years ago!). From left to right: Roseann Felsbourg, Jim Dills (standing), Len McNeil, Lynne Gonneau and Pamela McLean.

Perhaps you like to take pictures or talk to people about their past. Or perhaps you want to do research on heritage homes or pioneer families, write about our past, prepare slide shows or talk to groups. Perhaps you like to meet with friends who share your interest in Milton's past.

No matter what your historical interest, there's a place for you in the Milton Historical Society.
