Most interesting museum in Manchester, in one of the historic mills. An excellent overview of the history of Manchester from very early inhabitants through the heyday of the mills.

This is a great place to learn about the history of the mills and industry in Manchester. There are artifacts going back to the days when the area was populated by Native Americans all the way up to more current things, like a display showing items made today in NH. There are several scavenger hunts provided for children (although they... More

This is a small museum full of creativity and history. This is not dusty,old, boring stuff - its a walk back in time, back into the mills and the city that housed them. Definitely worth a visit - and a great place to bring out-of-town guests. Please note: the museum is not closed Sundays and Mondays, and on other days... More

This is a small museum that provides education about the Amoskeag Mfg Co and the operation of the textile mills it operated in Manchester's millyard. It is a relatively quick walk through -- you don't have to spend hours. There are exhibits of life during the manufacturing "boom" years. I enjoyed it but I don't think this would interest younger...

If you have never explored the history of New England mill towns, this is a great place to do it. With artifacts, period photos and well-written narratives this museum brings the past into clear focus.

During a visit to Manchester, NH we spend a couple of hours at the Millyard Museum. They have done an exceptional job of recreating the history of the city and it's culture in the 1800's to mid 1900's, especially in terms of the textile industry that created the city itself.

I actually learned a little more about my roots. My dad is Abenaki Indian, my mother Italian. The tour is self-guided so if you... More

This museum and it's surrounding area are exrtremely well preserved and "re-used." I was unaware of the amount and importance of textile manufacturing in this area of the US. A couple floors above the museum is the SEE center, with a Lego replica of the "mill town."

This is a little museum that talks about the mills in Manchester. It does a nice job of giving you a sense of what it was like to work in the mills, especially the main mill (I forget the name). I learned a lot. Definitely worth stopping in.
