Local landmarks like the Milton House Museum and the buildings that once housed Milton College are testament to the long, rich history of the SDBs.Long-time SDB historian Don Sanford leads the reader on a journey from the Milton church's humble beginnings to periods of rapid growth, through a traumatic division and a devastating fire, and a renewed external focus of reaching out into the community. Through it all, church members have maintained an unshakable faith and purpose.A History of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church is the most comprehensive study yet of the people and events that have helped shape the community of Milton, Wisconsin.
