Memorial Hall is an historic hall located at 30 School Street in Milford, Massachusetts. It was built as a Civil War tribute.

Designed by Milford architect Frederick Swasey in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, the hall was built in 1884 from local Milford granite and Longmeadow brownstone. [2] The building features carved brownstone figures and panels inscribed "Grant" and "Farragut". On the front of the hall, there is a bronze plaque inscribed with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1] It underwent a restoration in 2001–2002. [3] It is now home to the Milford Historical Commission, whose museum is open to visitors Thursdays from 1-4 pm or by appointment.
