- Milton House
- Erected in 1844 by Joseph Goodrich,
this frontier inn is constructed of
- grout - a mixture of gravel, lime,
and water. An important stagecoach stop and transfer point, it
was also a pre-Civil War station in the underground railroad,
and is still connected by a secret escape tunnel to the old log
cabin. In 1949 the Goodrich family donated the inn to the Milton
Historical Society for a museum.
