Presented by Barbara Perry Bauer, Historian and Founding Member of TAG Historical Research & Consulting

Take a drive to Canyon County to explore Middleton, the oldest town in Canyon County and one of the oldest in the state. Buildings in Middleton date from the 1880s and represent the village’s history as an agricultural center and transportation hub. At one time the tracks of the Idaho Northern Railway and the Boise & Interurban Railway crossed near the center of the village. Join Barbara for a stroll through the village and discover its unique history that includes the remnants of the S.S. Foote Flour Mill; the 1884 home of Jacob and Magdalena Plowhead, and the Lee Moberly Museum building listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
