The Historic Milford
Hotel - While traveling
through Milford Utah to explore the many outdoor
activities around the area you couldn't help but
notice this grand old building. It appeared it was
open as there was a lot of activity around the
building. Being very curious we stopped by and
our luck paid off as we began to talk with the
current owners of the hotel, Diana and Bryan Mccarty.
