Milton Past and Present: Blue Bell Tavern, Milton Post Office

The Milton Post Office is a pillar of East Milton Square. The building, which was built in 1936, currently stands on the western side of the I-93.

Long before the expressway was built in the mid-1950s, the Blue Bell Tavern stood on the post office property.

Through photos from the Milton Historical Society, we can chronicle three periods of time in the same location.

The first photo, circa 1826, shows the Blue Bell Tavern as it was in 19^th century.

The second shows the Milton Post Office after it was built in the 1930s.

In the third photo, the large trees on either side of the post office are gone. New handicap accessible ramps have been added as well.
