Special Exhibit - Queen City Athletic Hall of Fame
In the Discovery Gallery in the Millyard Museum Tuesday October 19, 2021- December 31, 2021
In the Discovery Gallery in the Millyard Museum
Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. - Included with museum admission
From 1989 to 2009, entrance into the Queen City Athletic Hall of Fame became the highest accolade that the Manchester sporting community could bestow upon an athlete.
Although the QC Hall has been dormant for the past decade, the Millyard Museum recently obtained the commemorative plaque that is inscribed with the names of the honorees, and that plaque has become the foundation for a new exhibit.
"We've spent the past six months creating a repository of photos that had never been compiled before," said MHA Executive Director John Clayton. "It has been a challenge and a delight, and we believe we have a very representative sampling of athletes dating back more than half a century."
This exhibit at the Millyard Museum will showcase athletes - male and female - from a wide variety of sports, ranging from Major League Baseball (including Mike Flanagan, pictured above) to college basketball to professional football, plus swimming, golf, track and field, gymnastics, even snowshoe racing.
Special Exhibit - New Hampshire Now
In the Henry M. Fuller State Theatre Gallery in the Millyard Museum
Eight different organizations across New Hampshire, including the Manchester Historic Association, have partnered on a two-year effort to bring the stunning photographs featured in New Hampshire Now to every region of the state.
The flagship exhibition at the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord will display images that represent the state as a whole.
A companion book, New Hampshire Now, features more than 250 images from the project. The book will be available for purchase in the Millyard Museum Gift Shop. For more information, call 603-622-7531.
