The Society has an extensive display of local Boy Scout memorabilia.


The largest display is composed of Middletown High School memorabilia. This display includes pictures, trophies, game balls, and class jackets.

These Chairs were hand carved by a former Middletown resident. The wood used was reclaimed from old Middletown buildings.

The Interurban first reached Middletown in August 1905. This scale model of a car was donated by Bob Hess.

The Society has several vintage clothing items.  They include this collection of women's hats from the 40's and 50's.

This flag commemorates the 50th anniversary of World War 2. It was donated by society member and veteran Ernie Lauber.

Several models of this washing machine were manufactured in Middletown.

A collage of rail-road and Interurban pictures and information was assembled by Bob Hess.

A restored scoreboard from the Middletown High School Gym is permanently displayed. It was donated by Marty Ballard and restored by Steve Holmes and Dan Dunn.
