Exhibit Opening: Hats Off to Manchester
Tuesday, April 2, 2019
5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Millyard Museum - FREE Admission
Bowlers, Derbies, Fedoras, Oh My! Whatever style you prefer, hats have always played an important part in our lives. They cover our heads when it rains or snows, they signify a social group or profession we belong to, and most importantly, they complete an outfit.
In the Exhibit “Hats Off to Manchester”, the Manchester Historic Association digs deep into its collection to bring you a special collection of hats made, worn or bought in Manchester. Take a stroll down memory lane as we bring stories, photographs and of course hats from some of Elm Street’s most beloved stores. Come see hat boxes and display photos from Pariseau’s, J.W. Hills, and M.A. Barton’s just to name a few.
Put on your favorite chapeau and join us on Tuesday April 2 for the opening of “Hats Off to Manchester”!
Please RSVP by calling (603) 622-7531 or by e-mail at hThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
If you are unable to join us on April 2, "Hats Off to Manchester" will be on display in the Millyard Museum's State Theater Gallery through August 1.

New Hampshire history is uniquely on display along the highways of the Granite State. The New Hampshire roadside historical markers commemorate significant events and individuals from the first settlers arriving in 1623 to notable individuals who helped define what New Hampshire is today. New Hampshire also played a major role in the birth of our nation. From Revolutionary battlefields to individuals of political influence, the Granite State has made an indelible mark on history. This book explores the 255 New Hampshire historical markers that dot the state highways and roads. Each marker is described with its location (to include GPS coordinates), date installed, marker inscription, and expanded historical references of this event/individual. Information may also be provided about other points of interest in the vicinity of the historical marker.
