A New Logo Is Selected for Museum

The Middlesex County Museum & Historical Society is pleased to present its new logo. Founded in 1935 and moving through its 90^th year, the Museum wanted a fresh new emblem. The design was developed to highlight various historical aspects of the peninsula.

The crown in the center is pulled from the Middlesex County Seal badge that consists of two of the seaxes and the Saxon crown that says "Middlesex." These items will be familiar to anyone who is familiar with heraldry.

The farmer represents the county’s long, rich, and diverse history of farming by the indentured, free, and enslaved residents of the past.

The oyster represents the abundance of our waters which surround our lands and have provided both nourishment and employment for watermen and their families.

The canoe and paddle represent our indigenous residents who first populated our shores and lived off the abundant natural resources present here.
