*** Conner’s Small Town Selfie: New Bremen, Ohio! ***

We just started this up today, and I am now in town number 2! Right up 66, I pulled off for a selfie along the Miami and Erie Canal at the Lockkeeper’s House in New Bremen! I will need to come back because the Bicycle Museum of America is literally to my right, and I would love to explore it one day!

Would love to have a few adults come to our barn at Lockington . We are located just west of the levee. We have some younger Boy Scouts that are going to help us finish up cleaning out the barn. It’s basically a lot of wood that will either be put in a dump bed or a trailer for us to keep. With a few adults to help us we should be done within an hour. 
Red wrecker from Wrecker’s will not be there..☺️

Moving into the next decade of Middletown's History, we all know that a major war (Civil War) would encompass this time period. Ahead of this time, Abraham Lincoln would make as stop across the river from Middletown at the West Middletown depot.

During the War, the 35th Ohio Volunteer Regiment would be led by Middletown Native, Ferdinand VanDerveer. During the course of the war, 4,444 Butler County men served in the conflict.
