Spend some enjoyable "low tech" family time in the Millyard Museum. Our educational and challenging "gallery
hunts" will give you a chance to explore the museum and learn about Manchester's history from the
Native Peoples to the present. Choose the topic you want: People, Transportation,
Immigration and Diversity, or Animals. We also have a special Abraham Lincoln gallery hunt that
focuses on the exhibit: "Abraham Lincoln: Manchester Remembers." Did you know that
Abraham Lincoln visited Manchester in 1860 (before he was president), and spent the night in a downtown hotel with
his son Robert and his son's friend, George? How did Robert Lincoln and his brothers
amuse themselves in the White House? Play some of the board and card games that they played back then.
Also, you can visit our Abraham Lincoln children's corner. Enjoy the Lincoln story books,
color pictures of President Lincoln's life, and play with Lincoln logs.
