Milford is a town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, United States, on the Souhegan River.

The town center, where 9,212 people lived at the 2020 census, is defined as the Milford census-designated place (CDP), and is located at the junction of New Hampshire routes 13 and 101A.

[5] Milford was once home to numerous granite quarries, which produced a stone that was used, among other things, to make the pillars for the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C.—pillars that can be seen on the back of the American $10 bill.

Like many New England riverside towns, Milford developed several thriving textile mills in the 19th century.

That industry left New England by World War II, but Milford remains the commercial and retail center for surrounding towns.

[10] In 2018, local firm Alene Candles became one of the first companies in the state to implement a "conscious leadership" program in a manufacturing production setting.

[12] The town also holds the Souhegan Valley Boys & Girls Club, built on the former home of the now-bankrupt private theater American Stage Festival.

The town's highest point is near its western border, on the summit of Boynton Hill, at 814 feet (248 m) above sea level.

The festival has many attractions including food vendors, music stages, craft fair, carved pumpkin lighting, a haunted trail, a beer and wine tasting and a fireworks display around the Oval.
