At one time, the railroad in Montgomery was its lifeline, bringing visitors, grain, coal and other goods in; and exporting our farm goods, milk and other products. The tracks from Montgomery to Goshen were laid down c.1865, and later expanded north through Walden and on to join with another line to the north. A railroad station and turntable were located on Railroad Avenue across the street from my gallery.

In the mean time, log in and share some of your memories about the folks pictured.

2006 Marked the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Montgomery Mastodon by Charles Willson Peale in Montgomery New York, across the pike from the current location of Valley Central High School. TOMCA, the Town of Montgomery Cultural Alliance, celebrated the anniversary by commissioning a large painting of the dig by local artist Shawn Dell Joyce, and by publishing a pictorial history book of the discovery for distribution to our town's elementary school children.

Middletown has long been this county's manufacturing and railroad hub, so named in 1786, most likely due to its church's location midway between the churches of Goshen and Mt. Hope. There is quite a bit of pictorial history of Middletown that has survived the years.
