  Milagro is a gamma-ray observatory employing a water Cherenkov detector to
observe extensive air showers produced by high-energy particles impacting in
the Earth's atmosphere. We discuss the first detection of TeV gamma-rays from
the Galactic plane and report the detection of an extended TeV source
coincident with the EGRET source 3EG J0520+2556, and the observation of TeV
emission from the Cygnus region of our Galaxy. We also summarize the status of
our search for Very High Energy (VHE) emission from satellite-triggered Gamma
Ray Bursts (GRBs) and discuss plans for the next generation water Cherenkov
detector.
