It’s always exciting to see friends open a new business and even better when it’s an antique business. Milton is becoming a great town in which to hunt for unique antiques and artwork. You should plan to spend a day and visit Magnolia Street Antiques as well as the other shops along Union and Federal Streets and then take a break for lunch at Irish Eyes or the Vintage Cafe & Bake Shop. Then take in a show at the Milton Theatre!

Movies at the Historic Milton Theatre

What a great idea! Movies at the Milton Theatre and there are some great movies coming up this month. There’s a great mix of recent releases, many of which were Oscar nominated. On May 5th, the feature is Julie and Julia, one of my favorites of the past year.

Movie Schedule

The old Milton Theatre, once a celebrated, state-of-the-art, art deco movie house, was rescued from near ruin in 2000 and has been revitalized to operate, once again, as a showcase for the year’s most popular movies after their release in digital format, and for those classic films of yesteryear. The community enjoys “Movies in Milton”-a monthly series of movies screenings at the Theatre- and collaborations with area film societies and independent movie producers to premier and promote their film programs.

Become a Volunteer

Boomers are becoming a great source of new volunteers for organizations of all kinds. Certainly services like Meals on Wheels depend heavily on new retirees that finally have time to help those less fortunate. I’ve been very impressed with the retired couples I’ve met that deliver meals on a daily basis to the elderly throughout Sussex County.
But arts organizations also benefit from the new volunteers, some of whom discover new talents they never had time to pursue until they retired. In Milton, for example, The Milton Theater offers opportunities to help run this restored theater in the heart of town. That could mean helping to put on performances, working behind the curtain or even auditioning for one of the plays! They also need help with tickets sales and manning the refreshment stand.
Become a docent at The Milton Historical Society, learn about the town’s history and share it with others!
These are just two ways you can become part of the town of Milton, meet new people and have a great time.
