The Middleton Area Historical Society was established in 1972. With the hope of providing a real and lasting contribution to the Middleton community, the following objectives were created:
1. To collect and preserve artifacts reflective of the daily lives of our pioneers in the home, on the farm and in places of business.
2. To record the story of the lives and struggles of the unsung members of our early days, who changed a wilderness into a forward-looking, energetic, productive and beautiful community that we enjoy today.
3. To honor the foresight, sacrifices, and the services of the many who have gone before, while still serving the living of today and tomorrow.
4. To bring about the realization of the dream of having a local historical museum building of our own.
