Another Middletown Township Trail,
Indian Orchard Trail, is said to be representative of the terrain found throughout Middletown, on a one mile loop with two out-and-back extensions.

Ruins on property purchased by Thomas Taylor
in 1682 when he was in Wales; he died, but his
widow and two sons immigrated here, and
according to a stone marker, his descendants
now live in all fifty states |

| Colorful sewer manhole |
