History Lecture: Middletown Farms; The Roots of Our History The final lecture of the Middletown Historical Society’s 2023 Winter Lecture Series will feature a talk on the history of the farms that make up Newport Vineyards in Middletown. What is today a thriving vineyard, brewery, restaurant, and gift-shop was once the site of a race track, golf course, gun club, and dance hall, frequented by the most illustrious families of the Gilded Age. Learn about the history of the area and the local families who have farmed, developed, and conserved the land for generations. The talk will take place on Sunday, March 26th, 2-4pm at Newport Vineyards, 909 East Main Road in Middletown, in the Brix restaurant event space (the West Main Road entrance will be open for handicap access). The Taproot restaurant and bar will be open (11am-5pm) to enjoy food and drink before and after the lecture on Sunday.
