FORBES HOUSE MUSEUM An entrepreneurial family; an historic place. Video by Diorio Films. The Forbes House Museum is located atop Milton Hill, overlooking Boston’s skyline, the Neponset River marshes, and Boston Harbor in the distance. It sits on the traditional land of the Neponset band of the Indigenous Massachusett people, who stewarded this land until […] In 1833, Isaiah Rogers designed the Greek Revival-style mansion for Mrs. Margaret Perkins Forbes, a widow, and her four daughters. The house was an engineering marvel for that era, boasting both central heating and indoor plumbing. It was, in part, a memorial to Thomas Tunno, the oldest Forbes brother, who drowned in a typhoon off the coast of China, leaving the two younger brothers, Robert Bennet and John Murray, to provide for the family. They were able to do so by engaging in the China Trade and various businesses; becoming a vital part of the burgeoning infrastructure of the expanding United States; and promoting the cause of abolition and the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1966, the Museum was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The house is surrounded by nearly seven acres of land, including tranquil garden areas, beautiful mature trees, and wide-open expanses of grass. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the property any time, dawn to dusk.
