THE MILTON HOUSE MUSEUM
NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
MILTON, WISCONSIN
INTRODUCTION
Pioneer, Joseph Goodrich, came to Prairie du Lac, as Milton was called then, in 1838, looking for a better place for his family to live. He chose prairie land at the intersection of two Indian trails and built a small frame home. In the years to come, this prairie crossroads became heavily traveled and this seemed a good place for an inn. All were welcome under Joseph's roof, but not all of his guests traveled by stagecoach or train. Some were spirited into his care by the Underground Railroad.
Visit us--have a look back into the past.
The Milton House National Historic Landmark is on the National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom and part of the Wisconsin Heritage Sign Program.
