Welcome
We want to welcome you to the Town of Milton, a town rich in history and architecture.
Our Council has been busy this past year and has had great success in making Milton a better town for you and for those that make Milton a destination in their travels. When traveling to Milton please stop by and visit our new Town Hall, one that captures the historic atmosphere of the Town and at the same time provides a professional home for conducting our daily business. Stroll along Governor’s Walk, which will take you along the Broadkill River, the very river that once thrived with sea captains and shipwrights. Enjoy our water ways, fishing piers, and parks, especially the new Mill Park located along Mulberry Street. A local landscape architect has created this once barren land into a work of art that will be a place for people to gather and enjoy long into the future; a site soon to be home for our namesake “John Milton”, forever cast into a life-size bronze statue honoring this famous poet and the paradise lost for those that never discover our great town.
Please make sure you visit the newly renovated Lydia B. Cannon Museum located in the nucleus of the Town’s historic district. It houses a wealth of history, all under one roof. Milton’s historic district encompasses 200 homes listed on the National Register. A short distance from the museum is the well known “Governor Hazzard” home. The past governor is the helmsman in the famous picture of George Washington crossing the Delaware. This historic home still retains a large portion of its 18th Century architectural elements. The Town produced five governors in all.
Most important, Milton is a place for us to raise our families, listen to concerts in the park, kayak down the river, or meet new friends. Our Council and town staff will continue to work hard in meeting your daily needs and in making your travels in the Town a memorable time. We welcome you and hope you enjoy Milton as your home, a vacation destination, or just as a visit.
Sincerely,
Don Post
Mayor
