What's Happening in Milford This Week

Children ages 5 and under are invited to the Pike County Public Library for Story Time on Thursday mornings and afternoons. Expect books, movement, songs, and a craft. It is a lovely, low-key way to get little ones excited about reading.

Grown-ups, bring your current project and join fellow crafters for a relaxed weekly gathering at the Pike County Public Library's Dingman Township Branch. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, whatever you love, it is a friendly hour to create and connect. Free and open to ages 18 and up.

A weekly community gathering featuring a light meal, praise, and fellowship. Open to all, it is a warm and welcoming way to spend a Thursday evening and get to know your neighbors across the river.

Spend the holiday weekend outdoors at the Pocono Environmental Education Center. Their Family Camp Weekend is a classic PEEC tradition, with guided hikes, hands-on nature programs, campfire time, and time to simply enjoy the forest around you. Great for families with kids of all ages.

The Pike County Chamber of Commerce wraps up the summer with another free outdoor concert on the lawn of the historic Milford Community House. Bring your own lawn chair or blanket and enjoy local musicians in the late-summer sunshine. Saturday afternoons, weather permitting.

The Milford Farmers' Market is back every Sunday through late October, rain or shine. Stop by for fresh local produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts, and enjoy the small-town atmosphere while you shop.

Step into Pike County history at the Columns Museum, home of the legendary Lincoln Flag and exhibits on Gifford Pinchot and the Lenape people. A wonderful outing for anyone curious about the story of this region.

The ARTery Gallery on Broad Street features rotating fine art exhibits by local Milford artists. Stop in to see new works and support Pike County's vibrant arts scene.

The historic home of conservationist Gifford Pinchot is open for guided mansion tours and self-guided strolls through its terraced gardens and grounds. Check the Grey Towers Heritage Association's events page for tour times and the last few concert evenings of the season.

Pike County's semiquincentennial art installation, "Nature Rings In," is on view through the end of the year. Part of the statewide Bells Across PA project celebrating America's 250th anniversary, it is a colorful piece of local history worth seeking out.
