The Town of Milton Historian’s Office is dedicated to the motto "Preserving the Past—Collecting for the Future." Its primary concern is with the people of Milton and their pursuits and activities from earliest times through the present.

The collection of historical information and materials is arranged by:

1. surnames/families;
2. churches and cemeteries;
3. agriculture. business, industry;
4. schools and civic organizations;
5. pictures and maps;
6. documents;
7. narrative materials; and
8. books.

Anyone tracing ancestors or interested in Milton over the years should submit a written request detailing the particular information desired and including a return name and address. Such requests should be directed to Town of Milton Historian., 503 Geyser Road, Ballston Spa, NY 12020. The public is welcome to schedule an appointment to visit the office and review materials that would be related to specific concerns and interests. Such appointments may be scheduled by calling (518) 885-9220 ext. 135.

While most of the Historian’s Office activity involves preserving and sharing the past, the Office is equally interested in collecting recent and current information and materials to be available for the future. The Office is very much interested in collecting any information and pictures that would update and extend current records or establish new records that will be available to our younger generation's as they seek to learn about family and Milton history in the years to come.
