Maps - MapQuest See also: Milan Historical Museum No town was complete without the "Smithy". The blacksmith forged more than just the necessary custom-made horseshoe as you will see in the museum's blacksmith shop. A highlight in the display area is our life-sized horse made from papier-mache and sporting a "proper" saddle for milady. The Carriage Shed is a showcase for large equipment, from the special occasion buggy with the fringe on top to the massive Hoover Potato Digger, an ingenious solution to the drudgery of harvesting potatoes by hand. Though not as renown as Thomas Edison's many patents, the Hoover Potato Digger was a Milan man's invention as well. Examine up close our antique fire equipment, farm apparatus, the high-wheeler bicycle and the operating model of a steam-run machine shop.
