Breakfast in Milford Pennsylvania
What a sumptous meal we have together with some friends.
Milford is a borough in Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States, and the county seat. Its population was 1,021 at the 2010 census.[5] Located on the upper Delaware River, Milford is part of the New York metropolitan area.
The area along the Delaware River had long been settled by the Lenape, an Algonquian-speaking indigenous tribe that lived in the mid-Atlantic coastal areas, including western Long Island, and along this river at the time of European colonization. The English also called the people the Delaware, after the river they named after one of their colonial leaders.
Milford was founded in 1796 after the American Revolutionary War as a United States settlement on the Delaware River by Judge John Biddis, one of Pennsylvania's first four circuit judges. He named the settlement after his ancestral home in Wales.[6]
Milford has a large number of historical significant buildings, many constructed in the nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. Some are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, while numerous others are included in the Milford Historic District, also listed on the NRHP. Of the 655 buildings in the district, 400 of them have been deemed to be historically significant.[7] The district is characterized by a variety of Late Victorian architecture.
Grey Towers National Historic Site, the ancestral home of Gifford Pinchot, the noted conservationist, two-time Governor of Pennsylvania and first head of the U.S. Forest Service, is located in Milford. It was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt has been designated a National Historic Site.
From 1904 to 1926, Grey Towers was the site of summer field study sessions for the Master's program of the Yale School of Forestry, together with the Forester's Hall, a commercial building that was adapted and expanded for this purpose.[8] Jervis Gordon Grist Mill Historic District, Hotel Fauchere and Annex, Metz Ice Plant, and Pike County Courthouse are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearby is Arisbe, the home of Charles S. Peirce, a prominent logician, philosopher and scientist in the late 19th century, and another NRHP property.[3]
The Pike County Historical Society Museum in Milford includes in its collection the Lincoln Flag, which was draped on President Abraham Lincoln's booth at Ford's Theatre the night he was assassinated. The flag was bundled up and placed under the President's head, and still bears his blood. It was kept by stage manager Thomas Gourlay. He passed it down to his daughter Jeannie, an actress who had appeared in the play, Our American Cousin, at the theatre that night. She later moved to Milford and the flag was donated to the museum after her death.[9]
In September 2007, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel named Milford second on its list of Ten Coolest Small Towns in Pennsylvania.[10] (Wikipedia)
Sacrifice of the Prehistoric Post Office
Artist/Artiologist C.T. Chew sacrifices the Prehistoric Post Office. The time is 1980. Fluella Vibrant, film critic for Art Times, wrote, ...images of flame and fire harken feelings of lust and passion. Chew disputed that at the time, but now in his twilight years thinks it might be somewhat accurate.

Home Front: Connecticut During World War II - Migration and Housing
A clip from the DVD Home Front: During World War II. Originally aired as part of the Connecticut Experience series on CPTV.
This clip provides a brief glimpse of Connecticut after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's massive National Defense Program was launched in May, 1940. Connecticut's factories attracted as many as 100,000 workers to jobs in the state during an 18-month period in the aircraft engine, submarine, and ordinance industries, but many of these migrant workers faced housing shortages and discrimination.
