Milford Youth Center Field Trip to Edaville Railroad

1. A bus full of children and teens from the Milford Youth Center took a field trip to the Edaville Railroad in Carver, courtesy of the Grafton and Upton Railroad CEO Jon Delli Priscoli, (who also owns Edaville Railroad.) “I wanted to do something for our G and U neighbors and this seemed like the right thing to do in the spirit of the season,” Delli Priscoli said. “I talked with the Milford legislative delegation and they suggested we run the trip for the MYC.” Edaville, established in 1946, is currently running its Festival of Lights, and annual holiday feature that runs until the New Year.
