MILFORD MUSEUM

The Milford Museum is located in Milford's original post office building on the corner of South Walnut Street and South East Second Street. In 1962, the building switched hands to fall under the State of Delaware's Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs. From 1962-1983, the building was held by Delaware Health and Social Services. In January 1982, the City appointed the Milford Commission of Landmarks and Museums to initiate plans for a museum. The Milford Museum is currently operated by twelve Commissioners. These additional individuals serve without compensation and are authorized to help fulfill the Mission of the Museum... We acknowledge that the Milford Museum stands upon the land of the Lenni Lenape, who used the Mispillion River that runs through the town as a source for fishing, as well as the forests in the area for hunting... The City of Milford holds within it a very long and rich history. From shipbuilding to canned goods to wooden spoons, all are welcome to discover..
