Memorial Hall. . In 1919, a joint meeting of the Middletown Defense League and a group appointed by Governor Harrington, met to organize the community to build a permanent and suitable memorial honoring servicemen in World War I. The memorial was designed by Edward Leber from York, PA and built by Mr. Roy Poole. In 1923 the Memorial Hall Theatre and Community Center opened and became the heart of the community. Through the years the building has been home to the American Legion Post, Middletown Fire Co., and the local library.
