In 1884 Millington citizens decided to construct a modern brick building. Between 1947 and 1970 eighteen rural schools consolidated to form the Millington Community School District.

The Millington-Arbela Historical Society is located in downtown Millington in the old Millington Bank building. Dedicated to ‘preserve yesterday for tomorrow’, this small nonprofit group offers visitors to the Millington and Arbela area a chance to step back in time with displays featuring turn of the century equipment, founding businesses, old school buildings, military gear from days gone by, and much more.
