A conservation landmark, a local history museum and Raymondskill Falls connect Milford’s cultural life with the upper Delaware landscape.
Milford offers a meeting point between the history of a community and the protection of its surrounding landscape. Grey Towers gives that relationship a national dimension. Completed in 1886 for James Pinchot, the house is associated with his son Gifford, the first chief of the U.S. Forest Service. Its rooms and grounds introduce the family’s role in American conservation.
The Columns Museum brings attention back to Pike County through objects, letters and photographs. Alongside the museum’s account of the Lincoln Flag, its exhibitions address Lenape history and the Davis-Bailey family’s place in Milford’s Black history. These collections make the town legible through more than one household or famous event.
Raymondskill Falls provides the natural counterpart within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The three-tier waterfall is reached on a short but steep and uneven trail. Current National Park Service restrictions close the creek area below the lower falls while expressly excepting the falls trail; visitors should remain on the designated route and viewing areas.
For autumn 2026, Grey Towers also publishes a specific October 11 change: guided tours at 11 a.m. and noon replace the afternoon open house. The linked guides carry the fuller visiting context alongside accommodation and dining choices.
