Milton, WI

The new highway bypass… the now defunct Milton college… senior bowl on Mondays… the GM plant is closed… choral singing competitions.

In June 2013, we arrived in Milton WI—our final Milton to visit out of the five.   It was a Sunday, and we attended 3 different church services before being treated to lunch at the Milton Family Restaurant (where we would return every day of our 4 day visit!), and then went on a tour of the Historic Milton House where the volunteers gave us great advice about where to go and who to talk to.

From there, we discovered Milton, WI in these ways…

 

We had to wait a long time to return to Milton, WI. In October, 2014, we spent four days there meeting with people and starting the process of getting the show to town. Here are some photos from that trip. …
