The Milo Historical Society was formed in 1970 by a group of community members with an interest in collecting, preserving, and promoting the history and the heritage of the Town of Milo, Maine. For a number of years, the society maintained a small Museum of local artifacts in the Milo Town Hall.

The Milo Historical Society began work in the spring of 1995 to revitalize the organization and increase membership. A major and worthy accomplishment of the Society has been the relocation of the museum to a larger and more fitting facility.

In the summer of 1996, the Society purchased a landmark structure, considered to be the oldest church building in the community, to serve as a home for the Society’s museum. A fund-raising committee gathered funds through community soliciation, yard sales, and the sale of merchandise with a “Milo History” theme. All revenues earned by the Society at that time, and since, have been used to maintain the Society’s museum and assure the preservation of its archives and collection of historic artifacts.
