Prevalent architecture Turn-of-the-century, two-story homes are prevalent. About one-quarter of the homes in Milan were built before World War II, and 21 percent built between 1940 and 1959. A symbol of the architecture is Community House, a two-story grist mill Henry Ford purchased in 1935. Ford used the area now known as Wislon Park to run a coil manufacturing plant, and soybean-to-paint operation for the Model T autos. Area residents can the Community House for small gatherings and it now houses the City Recreation Dept. dance studio. Despite the increase in development, Milan is still equated with country living. It's not unusual to find a home with a barn and a kennel sitting on a couple of acres outside the city limits, and a hand built wooden organ factory is housed in a relocated barn tucked along the Saline River. The small town began to develop its industrial base in the 1960's Currently, a great deal of its tax base is from the Visteon facility. Downtown Milan boasts a place on the National Register of Historic Places with fine examples of italianate, International, Art Morern, and other architectural styles. One corner features a fully restored Fire Barn once used as a library, jail and as city hall over the years which houses its Vistors Center and Chamber of Commerce offices.
Part of its present City Hall is the former Ford Power Plant used for the Village industries of the 1930's. It was rarely used for its hydraulic power despite he damming and creation of a manmade lake called Ford Lake and instead oil often powered the enterprise.
Notable institutions Milan is known regionally for its Automobile Drag racing venue, the Milan Dragway.
Milan is also the location of a Federal prison, the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Milan.
