Middletown Historical Society - Bicentennial Historical Photograph Project

 

When Middletown observed its bicentennial in 1991, several residents came forward and supported the celebration by sharing photographs from their collections. Our thanks go out to those who contributed these precious links to our past.

 

 


[This photo page was discovered on the wayback machine, the photos weren't showing up anymore, so it was repaired for Butler County reseachers. Perhaps the Middletown Historical Society has the original photos now.]
