Settled on the edge of the Monadnock region; Milford is a growing community that has managed to maintain its small-town charm. Residents have taken great pride in their community through the years. In 2002; the National Trust for Historic Preservation awarded Milford one of only five national Great American Main Street Awards for the revitalization of the downtown area; an award that would not have been possible without much volunteer and team effort.With pictures and words; Milford looks back at the people; places; and events that have molded the community into the appealing one it is today. It contains views of places that have been gone for decades: the White Elephant shop; the Milford Inn; French Heald furiture company; and the many working granite quarries; which in their time earned Milford the nickname the "granite town of the Granite State." Well represented are the historic downtown area and the common; known also as "the oval" since it bore that shape in the 1800s.
