In addition to its rich early American history, it was also a prominent stop on the Underground Railroad. Discover past and present merging in this postcard-perfect New England town. Look for the Revere Bell, one of the town’s most treasured historic objects, in the Town Hall’s belfry. The bell was given to the town in 1802 and has struck on the hour faithfully ever since. It is the 56th bell cast by Paul Revere, the famous patriot in the American Revolution. Only 23 others survive to this day. Stroll across the historic Swing Bridge. The mini-suspension bridge spanning the Souhegan River has welcomed pedestrian traffic since 1889. Enjoy Milford’s scenic beauty in its many public parks. Play a game of catch in Shepard's Park or go swimming in Keyes Memorial Park. Go fishing in Bicentennial Park’s Railroad Pond. Watch the town buzz around you in Milford Oval, a small, triangular-shaped park in the heart of downtown. Admire the many remarkably preserved historic buildings spread across Milford. The William Peabody House, Milford Cotton & Woollen Manufacturing Company and the Town Hall are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Explore the ghost town of Monson, located between the existing towns of Milford and Hollis. Settled in the 1730s, it was among the state’s first colonies, but harsh weather conditions and poor town planning drove out its first inhabitants. Today, wander through 200 acres (80 hectares) of parkland and visit the museum inside the restored colonial Gould House. In a state known for its granite quarries, Milford’s deposits stand out as particularly high quality, earning Milford the nickname “The Granite Town in the Granite State.” In fact, the pillars on the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C. are made of Milford granite. As you explore the town, look for granite touches on buildings and monuments. - Top hotels in Milford - Top Holiday Rentals in Milford ![DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Downtown](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/19900/19860/d6851f82_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Downtown 700 Elm St. Manchester NH £97 16 Feb - 17 Feb includes taxes & fees Stay at this hotel in Manchester.
