Milford, Connecticut
A Small City with a Big Heart - since 1639
More Than Meets the Eye
Sometimes when we travel through Milford - especially along Boston Post Road - we see the commercial side. But step off the main road and you'll discover breathtaking views, historic homes, and scenic landscapes that many travelers never see.
Strolling through downtown, you get that unmistakable small-town feeling, coupled with the charm of an English settlement dating back to 1639.
Where the River Meets the Sound
Seventeen miles of Long Island Sound coastline funnel into our harbor, winding its way to meet the Wepawaug River in the heart of town. As the sixth-oldest town in Connecticut, Milford boasts a meticulously maintained town green - the second longest in New England.
Water recreation abounds with boat launches, the Lisman Landing Marina, multiple city beaches, and Silver Sands State Park. The Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center at Milford Point offers stunning views of the estuary.
A Destination Worth Finding
High-quality arts and crafts shows, varied festivals, and local events make Milford a destination for day-trippers. A strong retail community provides shoppers with everything from specialty shops to an ever-expanding restaurant row.
A sense of “Milford Pride,” along with ample cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities, makes the city more than just a great place to visit - it's a great place to call home.
Getting to Milford
Just an hour north of New York City, Milford is easily accessible for travelers and commuters. Metro-North and Amtrak service begins at the downtown station, and New York boaters enjoy crossing Long Island Sound to stay at the Milford Lisman Landing Marina. A ferry from Port Jefferson, Long Island to Bridgeport offers another scenic route in.
