The true history of Midway lives not just in museums but in the stories passed down through generations of residents.
Midway earned its name as a halfway point between two larger settlements. Early pioneers were drawn by fertile soil and abundant water, establishing farms and businesses that formed the foundation of today's community.
Long-time residents share tales of one-room schoolhouses, community barn raisings, and the arrival of the railroad that transformed the town. These oral histories add color and humanity to historical records.
The local historical society actively collects oral histories, photographs, and documents from community members. If you have stories or materials to share, they welcome contributions.
