4/8/2024
Milan is the biggest city in Gibson County and a center for the area around. It has great roads going down to Jackson and up to Martin and Kentucky plus you can go to Humboldt to the south west or Paris to the north east. There are some good stores mostly along the 4 lane which runs from downtown towards Medina and Jackson, including Walmart of course but also Lowes, Harbor Freight, Ruler Foods, Autozone, Tractor Supply and some restaurant chains as well as the China House, Maria's Mexican Grill, plus it has a hospital, a medical center, drug stores and liquor stores, and more small businesses. There is a cinema in the downtown area which is a quaint and quiet corner of the town.To the east of the city is Milan City Park which covers more than 150 acres and has walking trails, disc golf, baseball and even an outdoor swim pool which is usually open for June and July. It has an ampitheater and you can rent pavillions so it is a very popular park for all the Milan people.The reason it is so big and has so much to offer is probably due to the nearby Milan Arsenal which brought in lots of people from other parts of the country who were military members with their families. I am sure you will find stuff to do if you visit but if you feel like venture further out there is always Jackson, Paris with Kentucky Lake, and the surrounding countryside which has some pretty little parts.
