Nir A w- % I N O P " - "11 •••••'" Nii l / 4 • Middletown Happenings Middletown, which was established in 1755, has many historical attractions to offer itiresidents, as well as visitors. A scenic train ride on the Middletown & Hummelstown Railroad, a visit to Indian Echo Caverns and dinner at Alfred's Victorian would make for a pleasurable Saturday. For the more casual person, perhaps an afternoon of Champion Miniature Golf, driving golf balls at Tom's Tee in Hummelstown and a pizza from one of Middletown's many , pizza shops would sound better. Many students come to this campus and think that Jamesway is the biggest attraction in Middletown. Of course, it's not a booming metropolis like the Big Apple, but for a small, historic town, it is quite nice.

The M&H Railroad, often called the Milk & Honey, is an 11-mile roundtrip tour on the towpath of the Union Canal, along the Swatara Creek. The Union Canal was one of the first canals built in the United States. The 1910 steam engine pulls passenger cars from the 19205.
