Milton Historical Society

The Milton Historical Society in Milton, Delaware is a nonprofit organization looking to build education and cultural elements within the city and beyond. The society works to preserve, collect, and interpret the history of the city through events, displays, and temporary exhibits.

A permanent exhibit is Four Centuries in Milton. This display is all about Milton history in everyday life using the last four centuries of photos, maps, paintings and documents to teach. There is an overview panel of the history including the beginning of Native American tribes in the area to the arrival of European settlers to the present. There are photos of Civil War times to the 1960s.

Milton History Society works to add to their collection with more objects and document items based on families and others who have been in Milton. Some added documents include African American heritage items that help show the history of early settlements to the mid 20th century. The historical society welcomes donations of any kind that helps in their endeavor to educate the public. These donations can be temporary or permanent.

The society is open Wednesday through Saturday 11am to 4pm. It is possible to book reservations for other times, especially for large groups.
