This is our retro Milford, Connecticut logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Milford’s planters bought Wepawaug from the Paugussett sachem Ansantawae in February 1639 and settled on August 22 of that year under Reverend Peter Prudden, making it the sixth-oldest town in Connecticut. William Fowler’s mill at the ford gave it its name in 1640, and Robert Treat left here in 1666 to found Newark, New Jersey.

The Milford Green is the second-longest in New England, the 1889 Memorial Bridge carries the founders’ names in stone, and Captain Kidd’s gold is said to be buried on Charles Island off Silver Sands. Seventeen miles of coast and the Milford Oyster Festival, the state’s largest one-day festival, round out the town. The mark on this piece is the Wepawaug.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

All Milford Connecticut Items

A mile off Silver Sands Beach sits the town's most famous riddle: Charles Island, which the Paugusset called Poquahaug. At low tide a natural sandbar — a tombolo — rises out of the Sound and you can walk to it. The best-loved Milford legend says that in 1699 Captain Kidd, on his way to arrest in Boston, buried treasure there, iron chests of gold said to lie beneath the rocks and never found. The island is now a state-protected bird sanctuary, its woods a nesting rookery of herons and egrets, closed to visitors through the spring and summer — so the legend is best enjoyed from the beach, and the crossing only with the tide chart in hand.

The town still gathers where it always has. Since 1974 the Milford Oyster Festival has filled the Green and the downtown every August, growing into the largest single-day event in the state. Around it sits a historic downtown along the Wepawaug — the duck pond, the First Congregational Church, the Robert Treat Memorial Tower honoring the founders — a New Haven–area city that, through every change, has kept its harbor and its Green.

Why People Visit Milford

Milford balances a historic green, a legendary island, and miles of easy shoreline. Visitors enjoy simple seaside walks, boardwalks, and small cultural stops between the beaches and the harbor. It is peaceful, family-friendly, and close to nature, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. History and everyday coastal life sit side by side here, from the long Green and the colonial downtown to the oyster boats and the boardwalk beyond.
