Captain Forbes House Museum is a historic house museum located in Milton, Massachusetts. The museum is housed in a Federal-style mansion that was built in 1813 for Captain Robert Bennet Forbes, a prominent ship owner and philanthropist of his time. The house was later purchased by the Milton Historical Society in 1948 and opened as a museum in 1950.

The museum features a collection of period furnishings, artwork, and artifacts that reflect the life and times of Captain Forbes and his family. Visitors can explore the mansion's 12 rooms, including the drawing room, dining room, library, and bedrooms. The museum also houses a research library that contains books, manuscripts, and photographs related to the history of Milton and the Forbes family.

One of the highlights of the museum is the Forbes family's collection of Chinese export porcelain, which includes over 400 pieces. The museum also features a beautiful garden that was designed in the 19th century and restored in the 1990s.

Today, the Captain Forbes House Museum is a popular destination for visitors interested in history and architecture. The museum offers guided tours, educational programs, and special events throughout the year. It is open to the public from May through October, and by appointment during the winter months.
