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

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.
