Historic Middleburg
In 1951 the town of Garey's Ferry was renamed Middleburg. There is a lot of history packed in to this small community, dating back to the early 1800s. In 1990 a large area on Main Street was designated a National Historic District, becoming the first in Clay County to receive such an honor. Several homes in the area are also listed.
Middleburg has a small Historical Museum that is fairly bursting at the seams with artifacts. It is located at 3912 Section St. just around the corner from the historical district. It only has Sunday hours (2 - 4 Pm) at this time. However, with prior notice, they will open for groups. (schools, scouts, etc.
