Additional Comments
In 1870, a Romanesque Revival style brick schoolhouse designed by architect Louis Charboneau was constructed at W6480 County Highway A in the Town of Milford at the cost of $3,150. The school opened that year as the Milford State Graded School. A large addition was constructed on the west side of the schoolhouse during the mid-twentieth century before the school district was consolidated into the Lake Mills Area School District in 1959. Milford State Graded School continued to operate within that organization until it was closed in 1968.
