Restoration Of A Landmark In Middletown’s Van Derveer House
The McKnight Kinnes restore the 1825 Van Derveer house at 214 Thorn Hill Lane Middletown turning it from Old 205 S Broad St. into a revived Greek Revival landmark. They preserve the nine steps to the porch and add an eagle weather vane while retaining ghosts of past occupants. The home once hosted Dr Peter Van Derveer and his family and was the social center as Middletown grew around the canal and grove once chosen by Nathaniel White as the owner built their mansion.

Jolly Roger Pilots Show Radio Control Hobby Rise
Middletown area group the Jolly Roger Radio Control Modelers, formed two years ago, meet Sundays near Franklin to fly radio controlled planes. President Dick Augsberger leads 16 members who pay a $2.50 entrance fee and insurance. FCC permits are required. Flights reach about a mile, with planes ranging from three to seven feet wingspan and typical sessions lasting 15 minutes. Crashes occur but repairs take a week, and the club emphasizes safe, visual-range operation in open fields away from residential areas and airports.
