Roadside Markers

Historic markers call attention to notable episodes in Middletown’s history, or to buildings that are on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Many of these markers have been erected by HSM, in some cases with contributions from property owners. Several have been installed by other organizations, as noted below*. Take a drive around town and see how many you can find!
