Saturday, September 17, starting at 1:00 p.m., a visit to our Civil War monument, hosted by our friends at the Cheney Brothers National Historic District Commission. The statue of a young soldier, by Carl (a.k.a. Charles) Conrads, will be the focus of this event, on the 145th anniversary of its unveiling. The actual historic unveiling took place on the 15th anniversary of the Battle of Antietem, which took place on September 17, 1862. We will also visit other memorials in the park, walking at a moderate pace. Meet at the front steps of Town Hall, 41 Center Street, Manchester. Plenty of parking in the lot behind the building. Town Historian and CBNHLD commissioner, Susan Barlow, will lead the walk and comment on the sculptor, the significant effort to erect such statues throughout New England, and the beauty of the statue itself. Extreme weather cancels, but the walk will be held if light rain. Free. More about Veteran memorials in Manchester
