Phileas Fogg has of late expressed an interest in brushing up on Middletown's history, as he has missed about 130 years since his last visit. There is a lot to learn about Middletown at the Middlesex County Historical Society at General Mansfield's House on Main street. Peruse the Civil War exhibit, experiencing first hand accounts from local Union soldiers; journey through the chronology of the making of Middletown's melting pot, hearing from and reading about Middletown's native Wangunk Indians, English colonists, and multifarious immigrant groups.
