Sept 12: "it seems to us to be a part of the duty of the good people of Milton to cherish the old house and its inscriptions, and preserve it intact as the birthplace of Liberty. It may be thought by some that we are taking an undue interest in old houses. ...but it must be remembered that all these mementoes of ancient times and the Revolution are passing away and soon there will be left nothing but a few relics to mark the early features of the settlement of the country." |
