The Middlebury Historical Society, located within the historic Middlebury Academy, serves as a testament to the region's educational heritage. Established in 1817, the Academy was the first institution of higher learning west of Canandaigua, offering a coeducational curriculum that prepared students for college and teaching careers.
After falling into disrepair, the building was restored by local citizens and reopened as a museum in 1951. Today, it houses a variety of collections donated by the community, reflecting the rich history of Middlebury and its surrounding areas.
