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.

Marker is at the intersection of South Janesville Street (State Highway 26 / 59) and Storrs Lake Road, on the right when traveling north on South Janesville Street.
