Reviews
Very interesting museum that is not super well-known, so it's often not too crowded. Near Boston, highly recommend. It's home to the collection of Robert Bennet Forbes, a sea captain who traded in China.
Home of Captain Robert Forbes, who made his living as a sea captain and China trade. Forbes piloted the only ship of relief aid from the U.S. to Ireland during the Irish Famine. Neat replica of Abe Lincoln's cabin on the property - one of the females in the family was all about Lincoln, hence the cabin. Governor Hutchinson's field is across the street - great view of Boston and historic field - Governor H. was a Tory sympathizer and ran from angry colonists back to England. He left from this field where his summer home once stood.
Tours are at 11am and 2pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. $10 and get a guided tour of the house and access to the premises. Lots of history inside. Those interested in Victorian homes, Chinese porcelain and artifacts, the Civil War and the Irish famine will appreciate the house and its context. Gwen is a knowledgeable host and guide.
There are so many reasons to love Milton The Forbes House,a gem here is one of the reasons why.Come visit to learn more about the history of the house.
Excellent tour for $10 from a very knowledgeable tour guide. Discover artifacts from years abroad working in the China trade, Ireland and Lincoln memorabilia.
