Middletown Valley Historical Society Headquarters

Circa 1840

The building was purchased by the Society in 1981 through a generous bequest of Rosella Routzahn.  It has been lovingly restored and furnished with period pieces representing life in early Middletown.  On the second floor is a nicely stocked research library and a fascinating museum exhibit room with displays of local artifacts, documents, and photographs.  The original summer kitchen adjoins the house and the original carriage house, stands at the rear of the lot.

This historic stone house serves as the headquarters of our society and offers visitors a glimpse into life over the past centuries. In addition to period living quarters and furnishings, the building houses a small museum with special exhibits and a library for historical and genealogical research.
