Forbes House Museum is a historic house museum in Milton, Massachusetts, housed in a Greek revival mansion built in 1833 for Margaret Perkins Forbes by her sons, Captain Robert Bennet Forbes and John Murray Forbes. The collection features Chinese export porcelain and silver, along with American, European, and Chinese paintings and furniture, reflecting the Forbes family’s 19th-century prominence in international trade and culture. The grounds also hold a replica of Lincoln’s log cabin, linked to Mary Bowditch Forbes's Lincoln memorabilia, and tours are offered by reservation through the museum office. Located on Milton Hill, the estate overlooks the Boston skyline and surrounding marshes, situating the museum within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector. In April 2026, the museum announced a restoration project for its historic barn and carriage house, signaling ongoing site development and investment in its historic fabric.
