Milton's Cottage, House museum in Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom
The Grade I listed 16th-century cottage contains exhibitions of John Milton's personal items, early editions of his works, and period furnishings.
During the Great Plague of 1665, John Milton moved to this cottage where he completed Paradise Lost and conceived Paradise Regained.
Milton's Cottage Museum maintains extensive collections of literary materials, prints, artwork, and documents relating to the influential English poet.
