About Milne Park

Alice G. Milne Memorial Park, located in the heart of the historic district, is open to the public year round. Home to three historic buildings, the Briggle, Milne and Eberlein homes, the updated and accessible pocket park includes outdoor interpretation about the three buildings as well as bench seating, a picnic table and a seasonal flower garden.

The Briggle and Milne homes are in their original locations. William and Katie Briggle were a well-to-do Breckenridge couple in the early 1900s. The McNamara family, Irish immigrants, built the Milne House in 1880 and owned a store in town. Jeanette Eberlein, born at Fort Mary B (the first structure built by miners when gold was discovered in 1859) grew up in Summit County and lived in the Eberlein house when it was located on North Main Street.

Eleanor Milne bequeathed the Milne property to the Town in 1986 for use as a public park. (Her mother, Alice, is the park’s namesake.) The Town took ownership of the Eberlein House in 1989 and moved it from North Main to Milne Park. The Summit Historical Society restored and placed a conservation easement on the Briggle House in the 1990s. The Town purchased the Briggle House from the Society in 2015.

History lovers and those interested in architecture and historic preservation.

Originally measuring just over 200 square feet in size, the Eberlein House is fondly called “the original tiny house” of Breckenridge.
