The Claude Allen Plug Tobacco Factory

The Claude Allen Plug Tobacco Factory

Milton Renaissance Foundation is additionally working with Milton Preservation and Beautification Society towards the restoration of The Claude Allen Plug Tobacco Factory. Though small, this structure is the last vestige of Milton’s manufacturing glory days. Milton produced tobacco before cigarettes. Tobacco processed here was for pipe smoking and chewing. Fun fact: research thus far has concluded the factory namesake, Claude, was actually a nickname for Claudia, younger sister of last known operator Clifton Allen. If you would desire to donate towards this project, contact Milton Preservation and Beautification Society (a 501c3 organization) PO Box 36 Milton NC 27305. We hope the structure will be restored enough to have visitors stop by and see the site later in 2025.
