At the entrance of the park there are TWO large pillars. Very
Old. In the future, I want to go to the Milford Historical Society
and ask what they were used for. Post your best guess with your
log. Logs without a guess will be deleted!
(na, I just wanted to get your attention.)
In this plastic jar with ammo tape, is a log . ALso, it is
started with a neat Travel Bug to move on. Also, there is a
TreePlanter Silver coin for the FTF Prize. Thanks, and have fun
Caching!
My guess about the pillars: They are the old gate posts for the
old Milford, Fairgrounds gate! Date: Sept.,19th, 1906.

Milford Historical Society - 4/12/2005 Just south and east of here
were the grounds of the annual Milford Fair. The first fair was
held in August of 1880 and repeated every year until 1940 when it
was discontinued through World War II. It reopened from 1945
through 1949, but was transferred to Pontiac after that time. The
oval where horse racing, and later car racing, took place can still
be seen beyond the building.
