TOWN OF MILTON The ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY 2014 As residents of the New England area we are graced by many historical landscapes. Our local cemeteries not only provide a place of comfort and beauty for the living but also provide a sense of history and a snapshot into the lives of those who came before us. Milton Cemetery has been an important part of our town for over 300 years. Its Old Burying Ground is living testimony to the great care and skill our forefathers took in creating a resting place worthy of their loved ones. In 2004 the Cemetery was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places and continues to be a place of pride and comfort to the residents of Milton.
