A Brief History of the Building

1921: On July 27, the Milo Free Public Library Corporation was formed.

1922: Ground was broken for the new building's foundation in May. When the building was assured the W.C.T.U. dissolved its association and turned all library holdings over to the new corporation.

1923: The library was opened.

This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
