Milden Community Museum
The Milden Community Museum, a Municipal Heritage Property, stands prominently at the northwest corner of Main Street and Saskatchewan Avenue in the Village of Milden. The site features a wood-frame, one-story former schoolhouse, originally built in 1917 and relocated to Milden in 1951.
The heritage value of the Milden Community Museum is rooted in its history as a public institution. Constructed in 1917, this building served as the first schoolhouse for the Equity School District, known as Equity School. It operated as a Grades 1-8 school until closing in 1942 and sat vacant until it was moved to its current location in 1951. There, it functioned as a Grade 1-2 school until its second closure in 1956. In 1969, the Milden Museum Corporation purchased the building and, in 1970, opened it as the Milden Community Museum. Since then, the museum has preserved the property, making various renovations to house its expanding collection of artifacts and exhibits.
Key character-defining elements that highlight the heritage value of the Milden Community Museum include: architectural features that reflect its history as a public building, such as its traditional schoolhouse design with a distinctive window wall, segmented windows, hip roof, rectangular floor plan, original blackboards, bell dormer with bell, and a flagpole.
