Manchester Historical Museum Update

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

If you haven’t heard yet, we will be open this Saturday, April 10 (10-2), to offer time to those who couldn’t come during our weekday hours. I’ve attached a poster to share that announces that. The last day will be Friday, April 16. As of today, there have been 43 sales – some large, some small.

The week of April 20 – 23 will be “take down” of the art show Tues- Friday (10-3). Since this process will be quicker and more of us are getting vaccinations, I’ll just let folks come when they can to gather their items.

Your support means a lot to us. In August, I’ll be sending our sign-up forms for the Fall Art Show that will open in October and run for 6 weeks.
