Research Resources


The primary purpose of the Milford Historical Society (MHS) is to collect, preserve and make available for sharing with others the history of the Village and Township of Milford, Michigan. To that end, the links below will lead you to various areas and items that the society has collected and is now making available via this Web site for others to view and appreciate. Many physical items that the MHS has collected over time are available for viewing at the Milford Museum, which is run by the MHS. We hope that you will enjoy the items that we have on display here and that you will visit the Museum and that both experiences will give you a better understanding of our history and heritage in this little corner of the world.
