Join the crew from the Delaware & Ulster Railroad and members of the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown this Saturday, October 27 at 10:30 for the unveiling of the historic marker commemorating the significance of the railroad in the development of the region. In recognition of the most precious commodity ever carried on the rails of the Up & Down, the D&U will offer complimentary passage on the 11AM train to all who attend this monumental event.
The historic marker was made by Catskill Castings of Bloomville
The historic marker is partially funded by the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown (HSM), which has initiated placement of three other markers at historically significant sites in the town. Members and community volunteers working with HSM, a non-profit organization, preserve and promote local history through programs, exhibits and projects.
