The Milford Museum will close its current location on South Walnut Street on Friday, April 17, as it prepares to relocate to a new facility in the city.

The museum is moving to 400 N.E. Front Street, a building that previously served as the local police station. While an exact reopening date has not yet been announced, officials expect the museum to reopen in its new space later this spring.

The relocation will coincide with a move by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Milford, which will share the new facility. The combined space is expected to serve as a welcome center for the area, offering visitors information on local history, environmental attractions, restaurants and businesses.

Officials say the closure marks the final opportunity for the public to visit the museum at its current South Walnut Street location before the transition begins.

Updates on the relocation and reopening timeline will be shared through the museum’s website.
