Black Bear Film Festival

You could win this Bear Lamp from Van Gorders’ Furniture at the Black Bear Film Festival silent auction.

The Black Bear Film Festival is like Hollywood on the Delaware. It recognizes Milford’s rich heritage as a filmmaking location — back in the days of silent movies Zane Grey, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish and John Barrymore visited the town while shooting on location.

This year, from October 14 through 16, Milford will turn into a modern film lover’s dream. The festival will feature three days of independent movies to entertain, educate, inspire and celebrate the art of filmmaking.

Most movies are screened in the historic Milford Theatre. You might even catch a glimpse of some celebrity guests! There is also a free Film Salon and selections appropriate for children.

Toast to Milford

On Saturday, October 22 you can taste, toast and tour your way around beautiful Milford, PA during a Toast to Milford. Businesses throughout town will offer complimentary tastings of craft beers, cuisine, cocktails, coffee, sweet treats, teas, olive oils and more. You’ll experience all that Milford has to offer!

Be sure to stop by Van Gorders’ Furniture from 1:00 to 4:00 pm that day to enjoy wine and light snacks in our Milford, PA showroom.

Tube Dude will be eagerly awaiting your visit!

Take a guided tour of his family’s historic chateauesque mansion designed by Richard Morris Hunt. And, bask in the beautifully landscaped gardens and outbuildings, many of which were designed by Chester Holmes Aldrich.

No visit to Grey Towers is complete without a stop at the estate’s most unique feature, the Finger Bowl, designed by William Lawrence Bottomley. The Finger Bowl is an exquisite outdoor dining table in the form of a raised pool surrounded by a flat ledge large enough to accommodate a place setting. Chairs were pulled up to the pool and food was passed in wooden bowls floated on the water. The Finger Bowl is situated in a wisteria covered domed arbor resting on an open structure of twelve stone piers.

Fine Dining

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, Milford offers a fine selection of restaurants and cafes to satisfy your hunger.

The Waterwheel Café, Bakery and Bar is less than a mile from our Milford, PA showroom in The Upper Mill, which also houses boutique shops.

The Waterwheel is a favorite neighborhood haunt for locals, tourists and visitors. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, they feature a fun live blues jam every Thursday evening!

The Hotel Fauchère.

In the heart of Milford is the historic Hotel Fauchère, originally owned and operated by master chef Louis Fauchère, who once worked at Delmonico´s, the first and most famous restaurant in America in the mid 19th century.

Today, the Fauchère offers the upscale Delmonico Room or the more casual and hip Bar Louis. Patisserie Fauchère makes delicious artisanal breads and treats in a coffeehouse atmosphere.
