Mission Statement: We are organized exclusively for educational purposes. We bring together those people who are interested in history, especially the history of the Village of Milford and Milford Township.
The Milford Historical Society was founded in 1973 by a group of citizens who recognized
the importance of the heritage of their community and wished to share it with their
contemporaries and preserve it for those who will follow. The main vehicle for sharing
our heritage is the Milford Historic Museum, which was established in 1976 and is
run by the Society. This Web site is another way of sharing our history. Enjoy! If
you have pictures or other historic memorabilia from Milford’s past, please consider
donating it to the Milford Historical Society -

Find out about the new Michigan Law on tax credits for historic preservation projects
The new Historic Preservation Certification Application to qualify for state historic preservation tax credits is now available at www.michigan.gov/hpcredit
.
This newly revised application reflects amendments to Section 435 of the Michigan Business Tax Act (MCL 208.1435) and Section 266 of the Income Tax Act of 1967 (MCL 206.266).
Many thanks to the Michigan Historic Preservation Network www.mhpn.org and all those that made these Acts a reality. We look forward to many great historic preservation projects as a result.
