Comments
According to a Connecticut College student,
originally from Maine, Milo was a KKK center in the
1920s.
In 1923, Milo was the sight of the first Ku Klux Klan
parade in the Northeast, which was also the first
daylight parade in the country. However, because
there were no blacks in Milo in the 1920s, the Klan
primarily targeted Catholics and immigrants.
