Milford

Milford is a vibrant small city with a growing reputation as an arts and cultural hub. Its historic downtown features Victorian architecture, boutique shops, galleries, and restaurants, while the Riverwalk provides a picturesque gathering place. Milford attracts a diverse population, from families to artists to retirees, drawn by its affordability and thriving community spirit. Festivals, theater productions, and art walks highlight its creative energy, while its location – between beaches and farmland – makes it a natural bridge between cultures. Celebrating the importance of the Mispillion River, downtown Milford is host to several regional events each year including the Riverwalk Freedom Festival and the Bug & Bud Festival.  Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the natural resource as they walk, bike or run along the Mispillion Riverwalk, a series of pedestrian and bicycle paths that hug the banks of the Mispillion River. (x) Milford has long been an arts hub – even famed artist Jack Lewis, known for his depictions of Delaware landscapes, made Milford his home.
