The Milton House has found its new leader.
Milton resident and 2009 UW-Whitewater graduate Keighton Klos will take over as executive director for the historic landmark.
The Milton House is the state’s last known standing stop on the Underground Railroad, a secret transportation network that helped Southern slaves escape north. The search for a new director has been underway since previous director Kari Klebba took a job with the Milton School District.
Klos starts work Monday.
She has a degree in public history from UW-Whitewater and has spent the last five years at the Rock County Historical Society in a number of positions. She left her operations manager job in July.
