Middletown Township, a fascinating visual journey through New Jersey's
past, will delight and educate both the avid historian and the casual
observer.
Middletown Township: Volume II is a fascinating collection of over 220
vintage views of this venerable township, and it explores in even
greater depth the rich and historic fabric of the community first
brought to life last year in Middletown Township.
In this second volume, the author has collected an extraordinary
diversity of images from a wide range of sources, and these images bring
to life the development of the township and the lives and aspirations of
its people. We meet the people who gave the township character; witness
the changing landscape; visit places of worship; marvel at the growth of
business and industry; and explore the development of the individual
neighborhoods. These scenes of the familiar and unfamiliar will bring to
local people and visitors alike a new appreciation of the richness and
depth of the township's history.
Author Randall Gabrielan is president of the Middletown Township
Historical Society and the township's official historian. With
Middletown Township: Volume II he has combined a compelling selection of
images with years of accumulated knowledge to create a history that is
both entertaining and educational.
