WMS Map: Homes Built Before the Civil War in Middleburgh
About Homes Built Before the Civil War in Middleburgh ....
It's been a few hours since I created a webpage that queries the state property tax database, and I thought it would be interesting to see which properties in Middleburgh were built before the Civil War (before 1861). While assessment records are often inaccurate, I am impressed with the number of properties along Main Street and River Street, which are listed as pre-dating the Civil War. Click on the purple and yellow bullets to bring up the property tax records for these properties.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.
