Senior Center Serving Milligan, TN

Milligan Seniors Are Welcome

Milligan is best known as the home of Milligan University (still called Milligan College by many locals), which began in 1866 as the Buffalo Male and Female Institute and took the Milligan name in 1882. Today it is part of the greater Elizabethton area, and Elizabethton Senior Center welcomes seniors from Milligan and the Milligan University neighborhood.

Retirees in a college community often enjoy learning and conversation, and our educational workshops and guest speakers give you plenty of both.

Learn, Move, and Make Friends

Members of the center use the fitness center, join art classes, attend financial literacy talks, and share lunch with friends. Whether you taught, studied, or simply live near campus, you are welcome here.

See the membership page for the benefits of joining.
