Milty is a four-and-a-half foot tall bronze statue of a pony, being fed an apple by a young boy while a happy little girl sits on his back. This work honors the not only the equestrian but the family-friendly, cultures that are hallmarks of the spirit of the Milton community. The sculpture is placed in the center of the Plaza, on an eighteen inch tall concrete base and is intended to serve as a meeting place and a signal of welcome. Milty’s theme of an interactive lifestyle is also extended into the bronze relief, Door of Knowledge, a companion work. The door is six-and-a-half foot high by three-feet wide and features a likeness of the front door of the original house which stood on this site, honoring a bit of Milton’s history. Books, with covers showing images of youth, pets and horses, emanate from the door’s windows, again depicting this library as an enriching family-oriented resource.
