Since its founding in 1985, the Society has hosted house tours in Middletown, as well as lectures on the history of Middletown. The Middletown Historical Society is responsible for hosting the annual Olde-Tyme Peach festival, a tradition started in 1993. The goal of the festival is to increase awareness of the important role peaches played in the formation of present day Middletown while providing an inexpensive, enjoyable family outing right here in Middletown.
