Historical Society, was the home of Daniel Vose, an early entrepreneur and prominent citizen of
Milton. He had varied business interests including a store, tavern, warehouses, mills and ships. The
house was built between 1760 and 1780 in Milton Lower Mills near the Neponset River and was
moved to upper Canton Avenue in 1950 when it was faced with demolition and restored to the way it
would have looked in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The Suffolk Resolves, the precursor of the
Declaration of Independence, was written during 3 meetings in taverns in Stoughton, Canton and
finally at the Vose tavern in Milton. It was from here that Paul Revere carried the Resolves to the
Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The house is now maintained by the Society as a house
museum showing artifacts and memorabilia pertaining to Milton throughout its history, exhibiting
presently a large display of items relating to the Walter Baker Company. You will depart Brush Hill
