The Middletown Historical Society owns the Canal Museum and the Pickwick Building on Main Street. Both properties need repairs inside and out.

Bob Wilson is the current president of the Historical Society. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:05:03 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=18014&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#18014 Canal Museum/Hydraulic Canal : Hahahaha Bobbie you crack me up... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=18011&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#18011 Author: wasteful

George Crout donated some money to the Canal Museum when he died for the maintenance of the building, didn't he? I know that the museum was a pet project for Mr. Crout. Since his death, his successors haven't lived up to his enthusiasm for the history of the town, have they? Does the Historical Society get it's funds from city hall, or do they have to rely on donations and fundraisers?

Ok, Sammie Ashworth.....what's the story on the condition of this area? It's looking bad and it falls in your area of responsibility apparently.]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:08:26 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=18007&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#18007 Canal Museum/Hydraulic Canal : Well then the city should send... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=17999&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#17999 Author: Bobbie

Well then the city should send out the citations to the Midd Historical Society.  They want everyone with no money to fix their property to city management standards - then the historical society should have the treatment.  Or would there be special treatment because of certain current and past members being friend of city officials. 
You how it happens - if you are a friend of city management - you get free work done for you at your home.

it's my understanding the Middletown Historical Society owns and operates the Canal Museum, not the city.  ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:43:13 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=17998&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#17998 Canal Museum/Hydraulic Canal : Why not place the responsibility... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=17997&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#17997 Author: Mike_Presta

Why not place the responsibility for the Canal Museum squarely where it belongs???
 
Right on the shoulders of "Mr. History" himself, Sammie the History and Landmarks Commissioner!!!

Vet, I am confused. I thought Ann Mort and Adianne Shearer were taking brroms and Murphy's soap to the city, and inviting Forbes back to see "the best damn clean town named on the fastes dying city list in the country." Are you telling me this was a project that escaped them? I am shocked!
 
Were they not already on Project 337 a year ago marked COMPLETED?

Powers that be what the hell do they care.  Most have no stake in the city, most of the people making the decisions live outside of the city.  No skin off their nose when they GO home at 6:00PM to Mason or West Chester, or where ever they may live.  The running of the city has been outsourced to basically non-residents. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:58:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2872&PID=17993&title=canal-museum-hydraulic-canal#17993
