Milton, MA The Asian Real Estate Professional Association (AREPA) hosted the sold-out The Forbes House Museum Tour and Real Estate Networking Event on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025 at The Forbes House Museum located at 215 Adams St. Real estate professionals gathered for an evening of networking, scenic garden views, museum tour, and industry connections. This event was generously sponsored by NT Development and AmTrust Title.

The Forbes House Museum, the Greek Revival-style mansion, was built in 1833. Four generations of Forbes family members lived in the house until 1962. The current collection illustrates their philanthropic and entrepreneurial pursuits, as well as their global travels. There are beautiful examples of art, artifacts, export porcelain and furniture from China, interesting accessories and novelties from the Victorian Era, items from Captain Forbes’s incredible humanitarian mission to Ireland in 1847, and Lincoln and Civil War artifacts and memorabilia collected over 50 years by Mary Bowditch Forbes. In 1966 the museum was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
