The Manchester Area Historical Society (MAHS) has produced a calendar as a fundraising project every year since 1984. Each year the calendar has a different theme or focus which is always some aspect of the history of Manchester and/or it’s four surrounding townships: Sharon, Freedom, Bridgewater, and Manchester. Full of photos and historical tidbits, they are a fun way to see and learn about the history of the area.

The new 2027 calendars are printed and available for purchase! The cover of the 2027 calendar features art works by two local artists. The front cover has a Nancy Feldkamp watercolor of the east side of the Manchester Mill, the River Raisin and the Main Street bridge.
