Be Inspired. Get Involved.
Give Back.

Fuller Village has a rich history of community service in Milton which dates to a time long before the Milton Fuller Housing Corporation ever existed.

The Village’s namesake is in honor of Caroline Weld Fuller, daughter of a prominent Boston family, who was crippled in a riding accident at age 20. Upon her death in 1933, she set aside the bulk of her fortune to create a place where women who lived alone could find “the comforts of home.” Executors of Fuller’s will purchased a 32-acre estate in the Brush Hill Road district. In 1997, the property transferred ownership to the non-profit Milton Fuller Housing Corporation.

Today, people from all over have discovered the comforts of home here at Fuller Village. In keeping with Fuller Village’s Board of Directors commitment to the Town of Milton, our residents also have been delighted to give back to the wonderful community that they live in and love.
