Milo Historical Society

The second reason was the fact that the historical society was paying a substantial annual fee to have a company host the online search platform. If the site was working well and was useful it would have been one thing, but it was not worth paying for something that was not functioning the way we intended. In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy looking through the great information, stories, and pictures posted on our website and on our Facebook page. We also would like to remind you that even though we have adjusted and shortened our hours at the museum due to Covid 19, we are in fact still open to the public (following safety guidelines) on Tuesdays from 10 am to noon and by appointment.

We have added the chapter “ The Hooded Ones” from The Milo Story, by Lloyd J. Treworgy to our website. It is about the KKK in Milo in the early part of the 20th Century. The picture of the parade in Milo has been circulating around the internet lately, and we thought this piece from The Milo Story should be shared.

The wonderful Change That Has Come About Since Benj. — Milo was settled about 100 years ago and was incorporated as a town some 20 years later The Sargents, Snows. The first settler, Benjamin Sargent and his son Theophilus, located about a mile west from the centre of the town, on Sargent’s hill. A son of Theophilus, J. L. Sargent, is one of the oldest residents in the village.
