Visiting Milltown
Milltown is better suited to a short local visit than a hotel-based destination. The Mill Pond, Main Street, borough parks and historical sites provide an easy half-day or neighborhood-scale outing.
Things to see

Historic small-town corridor with restaurants, services and local businesses.
Local-history collections and interpretation at 116 S Main Street; confirm visit arrangements before going.
