Middleton Area Historical Society

Middleton Area Historical Society was founded in 1974 with the goal of preserving local history.

 The society began at City Hall where a group of citizens  held fundraisers, such as ice cream socials, to support their efforts. Due to limited space, we explored various options of places to move to, including the Depot and Elm Lawn School.​ 

​

In 1989, long-time resident Gilsie Techam helped purchase the Historic Rowley House, located next to City Hall. The Rowley House purchase fulfilled the society's long-held dream of a dedicated space to preserve and share Middleton's history with the community. 

​

Over 50 years later, Middleton Area Historical Society continues to follow its mission.
