Alburgh Creamery

March 26, 2009

In 1934, the Milton Co-operative Dairy Corporation established a milk station in the town of Alburgh to service island towns with access to larger markets for their commercial dairy products. The corporation's 1935 annual report said, "This service to the remote patrons was a great convenience and a money saver. It gave them as quick service as those who lived near the main plant and saved the twenty-five cents per hundred pounds formerly paid for.” The Alburgh Creamery Yard is a hub of activity in 1945 as farmers deliver canned milk in trucks and wagons.
