    Elijah P. Lovejoy Monument image
    By visiting the monument you will be inspired at the heroism displayed by Elijah P. Lovejoy in the pursuit of free speech. When reading the story of Elijah and his untimely end, it will give you a sense of the turmoil embracing that period of time. The adjacent cemetery is a great place to walk through also. There are graves there dating back to the Spanish War and a couple from the sinking of the "Lusitania". See more..

    Haskell Playhouse image
    I'm a Middletown local and Lucy Haskell's playhouse and the activities surrounding it have grown tremendously in the past decade. If you're lucky enough to be in town on a Sunday in the summer you'll catch the Alton Muny Band playing their weekly concert to a crowd of about 100+ people (of all ages). If you're lucky enough to be in town on July 29, you'll catch Lucy Haskell's birthday party where you and your kids can participate in games, enjoy cake and take a peak inside the beautiful little playhouse. There's a free library outside of the house as well that neighbors happily stock with books for kids visiting the park. If you're here in the winter, be sure to visit the park on a snowy day with a sled! Haskell Park's hills are fantastic for sledding too. See more..
