In the past 350 years, the Town of Milton has changed quite a bit. Today, we look at the Blue Hill Market.
The lone business in the 900 block of Canton Avenue, near Unquity Road, is the gas station on the corner. Long before that service station, a market anchored that block. The Blue Hill Market, which is featured in the first photo from the late 19th century, sat where 959 Canton Avenue is today. The second photo shows the home at that address in 2012, over 100 years after the photo of the Blue Hill Market was taken.

In the past 350 years, the Town of Milton has changed quite a bit. Today, we look at East Milton Square.
East Milton Square is Milton’s largest business district and one of its most recognizable locations. Through historical photos from the Milton Historical Society we can see how the square has changed over the years. The first photo shows East Milton Square prior to 1893. The next photo shows the square in 1954. The third historical photo is from 1957, while the fourth photo shows the square today. The connection of Adams Street is currently closed due to a test run of a potential new traffic pattern through the square. What are your memories in East Milton Square?

Through historical photos from the Milton Historical Society we can see what the property looked like when it was occupied by J.F. Kerrigan. What are your memories from this location over the years?

The first day of Milton's Annual Town Meeting paid homage to the town's history.
With bagpipers and church bells sounding, the first night of Town Meeting was slightly different from those in the recent memory. The patriotic and historic sounds were just part of Milton's recognition of the town's 350th Anniversary. The meeting was held at Milton's Fourth Meeting House, First Parish, and was the first session held at the church in the past 177 years.
