The story about Middletown USA evolved into history in the making with several events that offered once in a lifetime experiences for the people and leaders of the community.

The communitys post Civil War development along with its turn of the 20th Century industrialization offered progress at every turn along with a growing higher education and health care system making it a regional center. Many of Muncies celebrities are featured like that cat from Albany drawn by Jim Davis and his associates who are looking to China for the next market for Garfield..
