🍂 Thank you to everyone who joined the Milton Historical Society for today’s Cemetery Talk & Walk at Goshen Cemetery!🪦

With gorgeous blue skies and autumn sunshine overhead, we explored the stories behind the stones—the symbols of love, loss, faith, and remembrance, and the lives that helped shape Milton.

Your questions, curiosity, and enthusiasm made this a wonderful morning of discovery. It was a pleasure sharing this special piece of Milton’s history with you!

Every stone has a story. Thank you for helping us keep those stories alive. 🍂
