With its beautiful coastline, great restaurants, shopping, services, and schools, Milford is still THE place to be. But with so much going on all the time—from festivals and parades to concerts and church fairs—it can be difficult to know what’s happening when.
Milfordites used to gather on the Green to be clued in on the latest news and happenings. Although we still congregate there for many events, chances are we hear about them online. In fact, digital Milford communities abound, letting us know what’s happening in our fair city, sharing memories of our past, and giving residents and non-residents alike a chance to chat on a digital town green. Here are a few you can find on Facebook:

Created “for all Milford residents, past and present who would like to connect and reconnect with former classmates, friends, and family!” it’s a great place to reminisce and share photos of the past. There are posts such as “Remember Miss Connie? Maven of the Children’s Theater Workshop” as well as the old Post Mall and its pizza “castle” in the center. The recreations of high school photos are hilarious, bringing back memories of those who were there and others who can relate to the era. Local photographers share scenes about the town and its beauty, and organizations post upcoming events.
