Milton House, Underground Railroad station in Milton, United States
The Milton House features a hexagonal design with concrete walls and includes a subterranean tunnel system connected to the main building.
Joseph Goodrich constructed this stagecoach inn during 1844, making it the first poured grout building constructed in the United States.
The Milton House served as a certified Underground Railroad station, providing shelter to individuals escaping enslavement through a network of hidden passages.
The Milton House Museum requires advance reservations for guided tours, with visitors choosing between docent-led experiences or self-guided audio presentations.
The structure remains the oldest concrete building in the United States and contains preserved tunnels that concealed people seeking freedom.
