Forbes House Museum

The Forbes House Museum explores America's birth as a global economic power in the 19th century through the prism of one family's inspiring stories of adventure, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and civic leadership.

Long considered the jewel of Milton, the Forbes House Museum chronicles the history of an entrepreneurial American family. This majestic Greek Revival mansion was built in 1833 for Margaret Perkins Forbes by her sons Captain Robert Bennet Forbes (1804-1889) and John Murray Forbes (1813-1898). Today, the Museum contains the treasures of four generations of the Forbes family.

The Museum offers tours throughout the year on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and children under age 5 are free.
