Twilight Tours
Held Annually on the 3rd Saturday of September
Our most popular annual event, Twilight Tours allows guests to experience the Milton House as Joseph Goodrich and his guests would have known it, by candlelight. Walk through the historic hexagon at your own pace, while talking with actors portraying various characters from Milton's past. Next, walk downstairs through a 3 story painted mural depicting the journey of Freedom Seekers from enslavement to freedom, before walking through the underground passage used by those Freedom Seekers. Tours end in the 1837 pioneer cabin located behind the Milton House.
Volunteers will be stationed throughout the space to answer any questions you may have.
Wine and Chocolate Pairing
Extend your Twilight Tour experience by adding on a wine and chocolate tasting by Northleaf Winery. Northleaf Winery makes their own wines and chocolates in house, and expertly pairs them together for a tasty treat. You may also purchase just the wine tasting, or just the chocolate pairing.
