Grey Towers was originally the summer estate of the James Pinchot family and later the primary home of Gifford Pinchot, America's first forester and founder of the USDA Forest Service. Grey Towers was built in 1886 by James and Mary Pinchot as a summer retreat. It was James who first recognized the reckless destruction of natural resources that was overtaking the nation in the 19th century. James encouraged his eldest son Gifford to consider a career in forestry, thus introducing the idea of conservation to America.

Gifford Pinchot went on to establish and serve as the first Chief of the US Forest Service, and he was twice elected Governor of Pennsylvania. Between family, friends and political associates, Grey Towers was always bustling with activity and was central to advancing the Pinchots' social, political and conservation ideals. In 1963 the Pinchot family donated Grey Towers and its surrounding 102 acres to the US Forest Service.

Despite its small-town feel, Milford has a very long and rich history. This history began when Joseph Oliver and Parson Sydenham Thorne partnered to create a village on the banks of the Mispillion River. The dam constructed by Parson Thorne was just the start of a thriving, riverfront town. It is this rich history that is housed inside the Milford Museum. A visit to this quaint museum of history provides you with an understanding of how important the river was to the town’s formation and development.
