The November general membership meeting for the Manchester Area Historical Society (MAHS) will take place at the Kingsley-Jenter House located at 302 E. Main St, on Thursday, November 12 at 7pm. Everyone is invited! You don’t have to be a member, and attending is a fun opportunity to see the Historical Society in action and meet some of our members.
The program this month will feature a preview presentation of the 2027 calendar. A lot goes into the planning and execution of a MAHS calendar. Kathleen Graddy and Annette Siffin will share some behind the scenes stories: themes considered, research experiences, stories and more information that there wasn’t room for in this calendar.
As mentioned in a recent article, the Historical Society’s annual calendar is a fund-raising project and a delightful source of history for our four-township area. The 2027 Calendar can be purchased for $10 at the Manchester Diner, Linda’s Diner, Millie’s Coffeehouse, Fredonia Grocery, Andrew’s Chiropractic, Bridgewater Sales and Service, and of course, every Sunday from 1pm-4pm at the Museum in the Kingsley-Jenter House, and the Blacksmith Shop just down the street at 324 E Main St.
MAHS has printed a calendar every year since 1984. Past calendars can be purchased for $5 each at the gib shop in the Kingsley-Jenter House, headquarters for MAHS. A limited number of full sets of calendars (1984-present) are also available.
The Manchester Area Historical Society is a small, friendly group with a lively sense of history. We invite you to join in our efforts to build a better local history record. “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.” —Maya Angelou
