Situated on six acres in Milton, the grounds of our historic property include a pollinator garden, Asian-inspired garden, seasonal planters and foundation beds surrounding the house. We're looking for volunteers, either experienced gardeners or those who just enjoy getting their hands dirty, to help maintain our gardens popular with many visitors from Milton and surrounding communities.
Inspired by the Forbes family legacy of entrepreneurship, social action and philanthropy, the Forbes House Museum fosters discourse around civic engagement and cultural awareness. Built in 1833, the Greek Revival home has been a house museum since 1964 and a National Historic Landmark since 1966.
