Blue Hill Observatory welcomes all visitors to Great Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts. At 635 feet it is the highest peak on the east coast from Boston to Miami, where you can still look out over the Atlantic Ocean.

With panoramic views in every direction Blue Hill Observatory is the perfect destination for family outings or school field trips. Each year the Observatory hosts over 10,000 people for guided tours and educational programs. Members may visit seven days a week, groups by appointment, and walk in guests are welcome every weekend.

4.5Forbes House Museum(9 reviews) - A Treasure Not to be Missed Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
My husband and I spent a delightful afternoon at the Forbes House Museum yesterday. From the moment we stepped over the threshold, we were in awe of this beautiful house. Every room had so many historical pieces related to the China Trade and the Forbes family. Our docent Becky was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our inquiries. The Opium exhibit was very informative. We visited the first and second floors as well as the basement. The silks on display from China were exquisite as were the art work, furniture and the spiral staircase, Becky went above and beyond when she offered to show us the replica of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace. Thanks to the foresight and generosity of Mary Bowditch Forbes, visitors can see this cabin as well as the room dedicated to her expansive Lincoln collection. This is not a place where you can go from room to room and take everything in at a glance. Plan to spend several fascinating hours at this treasure.See more..
