Lydia Black Cannon Museum

When it comes to hot vacation destinations, local historical societies often end up at the bottom of the list. But for history-minded travelers without gobs of disposable cash, they’re great community resources that should be taken advantage of.

The Milton Historical Society has been around for nearly five decades and is dedicated to preserving the area’s rich history.

The museum is located in a church from the 1850s and features an impressive collection of artifacts and historical memorabilia.

Operating hours are from Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Those traveling in groups may make special appointments with advance notice.

Lovely nugget worth exploring on a day trip. And take some time to stroll the summer gardens here and all around Milton excellently maintained by wonderful volunteers.

it's great to go to a place like this Museum and absolutely learn something new. I'm 72 years old and learned all about Button making and Milton who knew for manufacturers of buttons. So much information about shipbuilding and the little town of Milton. So happy I went
