Sports and arts are both an integral part of the community fabric; Milford has a reputation for developing excellent musicians and athletes. Political awareness is encouraged early, and as a result, many Milford residents have embraced careers in public service, both at the local and the state level. Milford also proudly acknowledges native son Dr. Joseph E. Murray, who pioneered in the area of organ transplants. In 1990, Dr. Murray was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for medicine.
Milford is known the world over for its unique pink granite, discovered in the 1870's and quarried for many years thereafter. Milford pink granite continues to grace the exteriors of museums, government buildings, monuments and railroad stations in Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., and Paris, France.
Visitors and residents enjoy such annual events as the Portuguese Picnic, the Firefighters' Family Day, summer band concerts, the Welcome Santa parade and many, many others.
