The Manchester Historical Museum and Gift Shop is normally closed during the winter months, but due to community interest, it will be open from 1pm to 4pm on the following Sundays: January 25, February 22, and March 22. The Blacksmith Shop will continue to be open every Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. Come see little-known facts about your town, purchase craft items made by methods of the past, and watch firsthand how metal items were made in the past. Maybe even try your hand at blacksmithing!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
