The Waits River Grist Mill: Known simply as “the mill,” it was established in 1847 by Asa Low. Now a commercial building, the mill houses numerous offices.
Wrights Mountain, located in the northwest corner of town, offers a pleasant, accessible hiking and picnic area. Halfway up the mountain at Appleton's Camp, hikers have panoramic views of the countryside.
Devil's Den, the cave named for a raffish would-be hermit who briefly holed up inside during the late 1700s, also attracts interest. The town purchased Wrights Mountain in 1994.
The Bradford Golf Course, located downtown next to the mill, is a nine-hole course owned by the Bradford Golf Club and open to the public for a fee.
