Historic Milton - Two schools of Arts
The two buildings here, the library and the theatre, were both built as a school of arts.
Milton Library was originally built in 1871. In 1874 the newly formed Ulladulla council rented space for meetings and eventually purchased the building in 1927. They then renamed it as the town hall. The building became the library in the 1980's
When the old school of arts was purchased by Ulladulla council in 1927, the funds were used to build a new school of arts next door. After a while, It was used as a dance hall and picture theatre. It became a cinema between 1952 and 1962 and is now used as a venue for live music.

Historic Milton - Mick Ryan Park
Mick Ryan Park was created by Shoalhaven Council in 1968 in order to save a famous and much-loved fig tree and to prevent redevelopment of the land. The 2000m² parcel of land was bought from dairy farmer Mick Ryan, and the park was named in his honour.
Believed to be around 190 years old, the fig tree is approximately 10 metres tall and has a massive spread of 38 metres. The tree is in very good health and is listed on the National Register of Big Trees. It is a favourite play area for children with many climbable branches to ground level and hide-and-seek spots around its huge, buttressed trunk.

Historic Milton - Court House
In 1877, due to the growth of Milton, the local court was moved here from Ulladulla. The move included all the fixtures and fittings which enraged those in Ulladulla who had donated them.
The original building, including a police station at the rear, became too small for the growing town and the current courthouse was built during the 1890's when the roof of the original building collapsed.
The courthouse is still used Tuesday to Thursday for the Milton Local Court

Historic Milton - Post Office
Milton's first post office was opened in January 1860, but various locations were used until a single-storey building was constructed on this site in 1880.
Renovations in 1895 produced the unusual half-circle window together with a gable roof. The second storey was added in 1904.
