As a boy, I attended Sunday School in the First Congregational church, and remember many of the scenes you show, including of the church itself. I never had the chance to stop and look at the memorial stones. Thank you for screening!
Memorial bridge 1888. It’s worth taking a walk along, and here’s an article about it: www.ctmq.org/milford-memorial-bridge-tower/ Thanks for watching and commenting!
A trip down memory lane. 63 years ago, I grew up just off of the park on west River St. daily, I walked or rode my bike by the sights on the walking tour.
You’re very lucky. That’s a beautiful walk with lots of historic sites, waterfalls, the harbor, and Memorial Bridge is unique and interesting. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Can people do the walk through milford history and do tours at Milford and when are they going to do it again and what are the days and months and times
There are haunted walking tours, cemetery tours, and tours of the Historical Society buildings. Follow the loop I made and I guarantee you’ll enjoy it. See discovermilfordct.com/things-to-do/ Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! I’m sure you know, but Robert Treat was a key leader in colonial America who had a very impressive political and military resumé. You should be proud!
Incredibly, over 300 years later, I went to school with Harvey Pond, and Ginny Treat, Lisa Fowler, Betsy Stowe, Barbara and Tommy Trowbridge, the Enger's (direct descendants of Priscilla Alden of the Mayflower)..and many more... Lived and played around many of these houses.. taking it all for granted...
That’s amazing. After posting this video, I learned from the owners that the red house in the thumbnail for this video, the Thomas Buckingham house at 61 North St, has been in the same family since it was built. That’s incredible to me. Incredible town worth a day trip. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks so much, Nancy! The cemetery looks huge and I’m sure there are some very old stones in there. You’re lucky to have grown up in one of CT’s oldest towns. I’m glad you appreciate it. There are also groups like the Milford Preservation Trust that are looking out for your town’s historic sites. I’ll walk through the cemetery next time I visit.
@@watsonjohnc I used to walk through the cemetery on my way home from school...there's a stone commemorating the 30 or so British Soldiers who died of smallpox, after being taken in by Milford residents.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. Milford is beautiful and a great spot for a walk. As I visit and research CT towns I’m learning about all of the groups that are working to protect CT’s historic buildings: Milford Preservation Trust, Preservation Connecticut, Daughters of the American Revolution, and all of the local historical societies. It’s very impressive.
