Historical Society Open for Christmas ShoppingThe Milford Historical Society’s Country Store will be open for
Christmas shopping on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. on Nov. 29, Dec. 6, Dec. 13 and
Dec. 20 at the Bryan-Downs house, 34 High St.
If you are new in town or know someone who is, we have a number
of Milford history books and reproduction maps of the early settlement that
make great Christmas gifts. There’s also a children’s coloring about local
history.
There are dozens of old-fashioned toys (no batteries needed!)
that will fascinate children. The small toys make great stocking
stuffers. The store also offers candles, Christmas ornaments with the Society
logo, two kinds of soap, sachets with lavender from this summer’s MHS herb
garden, mineral samples, prisms and more.
For your safety, customers’ temperatures will be taken by a
non-contact forehead thermometer. Please wear masks. Social distancing will be
expected, and a hand-sanitizing station will be available for use before and
after you shop. There is a Plexiglas shield at the sales counter.
The best part is that you can shop at your leisure and avoid crowds at malls
and big stores. The building and restroom are fully accessible. For more information, call the Society at
(203) 877-2264 or check out milfordhistoricalsociety.org.
