Town Center Walking Tour
The public is invited to a free history walk on Saturday, November 12, starting at 1:00 p.m. at the front steps of Town Hall, 41 Center Street, Manchester. We will visit the Masonic Temple, a unique neo-classical building, which opened in 1926. The building is for sale and this may be a final opportunity for the public to view the splendid interior. We will also walk past two other examples of fraternal organizations in the Town center, finishing with a visit to Center Memorial Park. The Town Historian will lead the walk, which will take about 90 minutes. Rain or shine. Plenty of parking behind the Town Hall. Information about local history: www.manchesterhistory.org.
