About the event
In 2023 the Middlesex County Historical Society engaged Martha Lyon, Landscape Architect, to create a Cultural Landscape Report and a Master Plan for Middletown's General Mansfield House. The plan is meant to guide the Historical Society in its efforts to maintain its property at 151 Main Street, Middletown, but also to outline an ambitious plan for the future which would allow the Society to fulfill its mission for the next 125 years. Alain Munkittrick, President of the Board of Directors of the MCHS, will present the Report and Master Plan, hoping to engage the Middletown Garden Club and attendees in a conversation that asks the question, "Where do we go from here?" While specific to Middletown's General Mansfield House, this program will be a benefit to any person interested in architectural history as it relates to landscaping.
