Location History
Milford, Pennsylvania is known as a treasure trove of historical buildings and architecture, with more than 450 of the 600 that reside in the Milford Historic District deemed to be historically significant.
Many of these buildings tell stories of this borough’s history which dates back to 1796. Milford was founded by Judge John Biddis, known as one of the original four circuit judges in Pennsylvania.
Walking along broad Street will bring you a beautiful two-story building, featuring four large columns and covered porches on each side. You’ve arrived at the historic and haunted Columns Museum!
The Columns Museum was built in 1904 as a private residence. Since 1930, the mansion has served as the museum for the Pike County Historical Society. Columns Museum holds many historical artifacts.
A rather significant piece is the American Flag which was used as a pillow for President Abraham Lincoln’s head after being shot at the Ford Theatre. The flag still contains some of Lincoln’s blood.
Pike County is only known to have held one public execution. This execution was carried out by hanging. The original noose from that execution is another historic artifact that is held at Columns Museum.
An exhibit for Chief Thundercloud also exists in the museum. Chief Thundercloud was a scout for the American Army, and it is believed his image was used on the buffalo nickel and five-dollar gold piece.
Columns Museum has further displays of mourning clothes, presentations on several early wars, other historically significant pieces (such as William Jennings Bryan fedoras) , and other assorted oddities.

Mrs. Peirce herself may be responsible for closing the door to her room. Quite active, Mrs. Peirce has been seen roaming the second-floor hallway and standing on the stairs. Will you meet Juliette Peirce?
The 3rd-floor servant’s staircase may provide you with the spectral scene of a woman falling while watched by a man. Trekking to the basement, you may encounter the apparition of a small woman.
