A Look Back at Milford’s Souhegan Auto Company 🚗

This postcard image is likely from around 105 years ago, when the automobile was rapidly becoming an important part of everyday life in Milford and surrounding communities.

The building pictured here was home to the Souhegan Auto Company, a local business that played an important role in providing automobiles and services to the growing number of motorists in the area.

Today, the same building on Nashua Street is home to Cardoza Flooring.

It’s always fascinating to see familiar Milford buildings as they appeared generations ago—and to remember the businesses and people that helped shape our community.

This week marked an exciting milestone for Milford history!
The Hutchinson Family Homestead on North River Road has officially been added to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places.
This recognition was made possible through the dedication of volunteers from the Milford Historical Society, working in partnership with the property's owners, whose cooperation and commitment to preserving this important piece of Milford's heritage made the nomination possible.
The Hutchinson Family was one of Milford's most remarkable families. Beginning in the 1830s, the internationally acclaimed Hutchinson Family Singers used their music to champion abolition, women's rights, and other social reforms, carrying the name of Milford across the United States and beyond. Their family homestead remains a tangible connection to that extraordinary legacy.
The accompanying photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a glimpse of the historic home that has now received well-deserved state recognition.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone whose hard work helped preserve this important chapter of Milford's history for future generations.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
This year, we celebrate 250 years of our nation's history, resilience, and enduring spirit.
From the heart of Milford's Oval, Milford's special oversized American flag stands proudly as a symbol of the generations who have called this community home and the countless stories that have shaped both Milford and our nation.
As we honor America's birthday, we're reminded that history isn't just found in textbooks—it's preserved in our towns, our traditions, and the people who continue to tell these stories.
From all of us at the Milford NH Historical Society, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and patriotic Independence Day as we celebrate America's 250th Birthday!
Happy Birthday, America!
