The Forbes House Museum in Milton hosted an open house on Saturday, January 27 celebrating its new exhibit on Captain Robert Bennet Forbes’s 1847 humanitarian aid voyage to Ireland during the height of the potato famine. After collecting donations from Boston and other U.S. cities, Forbes sailed a U.S. naval warship loaded with 800 tons of much needed food and clothing to Cork harbor. Greenhills Irish Bakery of Dorchester catered the event, and local musician Brian Queally performed traditional Irish music.
