Cultural and Heritage Committee
2021 Art Workshop
A big thank you to all our participants in our Winter Zoom Art Workshop! We all had a wonderful time coming together on Zoom and learning different painting techniques and artistic elements to create holiday gifts!
Middlesex Tidbits
How many names has Middlesex had?
Who is Victor Crowell, and why did we name a park after him?
How did some of our streets get their names?
Orchids, trolleys, Knickerbocker Toys, Lincoln statue…Middlesex is famous for those things AND MORE!
Learn about the storied and entertaining history of our gem of a town every other month, with Middlesex Tidbits, a feature on the Middlesex Borough website, starting in April! Every other month, the Cultural and Heritage Committee will spotlight a different fun fact about Middlesex and explore the history behind it.
