The Milton Historical Society is hosting an Open House from 1 to 3 PM on Sunday, April 15, 2012, at the Suffolk Resolves House, 1370 Canton Avenue, Milton.

In 1774, delegates to the Suffolk County Convention came here to set the stage for Paul Revere’s famous ride and the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Gordon Campbell and other members of the 9th Massachusetts Regiment will perform drills and share what life was like in a colonial militia.

This family event will give kids a chance to become historians, as they examine records of the historic events – heard round the world – of April 1775. There will be hands-on activities suitable for all ages.

Bring your children and grandchildren so they can experience what life was like in the 18th century.
