Mickey McMillan

Milton "Mickey" McMillan was born & raised in Murray. His family was very musical. When he was young he and his brother often played the violin around the valley.  As Mickey got older he established several local bands and traveled all over to perform.

He purchased the original S & M Skating Rink from Stan & Myrl Todd.

3500 south at 1790 west

In 1944 it became his Dance Pavilion

Mickey's Danceland. 

It was a very popular Dance Hall. The music was always fabulous

It was called Mickey's Danceland or Mickey's Dance Pavilion

If you loved the Jitterbug, the Swing, the Lindy, the Rock'n'Roll, Boogie-Woogie or Bop you would love Mickey's

You could do the Charleston, the Shim Sham, the Tranky Doo, Cake Walk or the JiveSwing Stroll.

Or you could just sit back and listen to some wonderful music.  Mickey's was the place to be.

January 31, 1964 Mickey was helping with a community dance at a Taylorsville LDS Ward House. He was hit by a car and died

The community was brokenhearted. Mickey brought so much to the community!
