Historic District & Buildings

In 2009, the Main Street Historic District was formally designated by National Register of Historic Places. Townscape produced a history of Millerton and conducted a historical survey of all the buildings within the village of Millerton. Designation as a historic district with the National Register of Historic Places provides a focus for restoration and gives property owners eligibility for tax incentives when restoring their properties. In addition, this designation provides a draw for tourism, creates educational opportunities in the local schools and community organizations, and qualifies the village for specialized improvement grants. Townscape has also partnered with the village and town to restore the Millerton clocktower above The Moviehouse on Main Street.
