Society Inception
Over several years, there have been a number of discussions about forming a
Lower Milford Historical Society.
Many people within the Township expressed an interest in our origins,
history, and people. A small group of people organized the Historical
Society in June 2005. Currently, the Society is developing an inventory
of historic buildings, obtaining verbal and written histories and
anecdotes about Lower Milford Township, and cataloging various
pictures, artifacts, and documents of historical significance.
Currently the Society is developing a logo that is based on hex signs and the popular
Tree of Life
sign shown here. We would like to replace the symbols on the tree with
ones that have significance to the community. If anyone with artistic
talent, knowledge of hex sign symbols, or just wanting to help, please
contact us.

Bicentennial Brochure
During the American Bicentennial Celebration in 1976, Lower
Milford Township was recognized as an American Revolution Bicentennial
Community. The Lower Milford Bicentennial Committee
issued a booklet commemorating the history and heritage of this community.
The Lower Milford Historical Society reproduced the text and pictures of the booklet that
was issued so that it might obtain the wide distribution that it justly deserves.
Only the formatting has been changed.
We gratefully acknowledge the members of the Lower Milford Bicentennial
Committee for a job well done.
The brochure is reproduced as an Acrobat Reader "pdf" file. To obtain it, please click here or at the bottom of this note. Note: The file is about 5Mb long. A dial-up download will take a significant amount of time.
