Day 12: Heritage

Our Past is Our Present

Our history is a present we give our children.

Middlesex County is rich in local history. It’s true! We have 113 locations listed on the National Register of Historic Heritage EnhancementPlaces.

Did you know that each of our fifteen towns has an historical society, dedicated to helping our past remain alive in our present, and well into our future? Buildings, paintings, photographs, maps and other artifacts are available to be explored and cherished for generations to come. Special events, such as holiday fairs, readings and guided tours, help keep our history accessible to everyone.

If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. ~Pearl Buck

Let us know: What is your favorite local history spot? What is your favorite “legend” of Middlesex County?

There are many ways to give back to our community.
