Middletown Valley
“One of the most favored and delightful spots on earth.”
— Andrew Jackson (7th president of the United States)
The Middletown Valley Historical Society is headquartered in a home constructed on one of the town's original lots, laid out in 1767.
The present home was constructed prior to 1850 using locally obtained field stone. It is one of the only remaining stone-faced buildings in Middletown.
