Activities
Milford is bounded by the Delaware, Sawkill and VanderTyne on three sides, and the foothills
of the Poconos on the fourth. This means it has a lot of "green" activities, and Green has its own
The Milford Theater celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011. It did so with new ownership, new bathrooms, new HVAC and a whole new attitude. That attitude is easy to absorb: keep it fun. Check the schedule to see what live performances, films, readings, meetings, concerts and plays are on tap right in the heart of Milford.
The Black Bear Film Festival is back, not just for its 12th annual weekend of fun, but back at its natural home, the Milford Theater. An entire weekend of a dozen films, a Salon of independent and experimental films and of course the opening Gala, make for a terrific weekend among the gorgeous fall leaves. Chat with people in the tent; they've come from New York, Long Island, Connecticut and Maryland just for this. Check out the BBFF here.

Grey Towers is the home of the Pinchot family, which gave us Gifford Pinchot, former Pennsylvania governor and a naturalist at a time when none existed. His efforts led directly to the federal government's involvements in conservation. The mansion is open to the public, and the grounds play host to numerous events from fairs to concerts. More about Grey Towers on our Green page.
