Manchester Area Historical Society (MAHS) strives to make Manchester area history interesting, useful and meaningful to the citizens of today. Please join us for our regular monthly meeting, held September through June, the second Thursday of the month, 7:00pm, at the Kingsley-Jenter House 302 E. Main St Manchester (unless otherwise noted).
Our meetings are informal and include presentations on a wide variety of interesting topics representing a mix of local, state and national themes. Everyone is welcome, and attending a meeting is an excellent way to get started on your own journey into history!
We are planning to once again hold our annual MAHS picnic on Thursday, June 12, at 6:00 PM, at the home and historic barn setting of Norma Every, 11533 Braun Road (SW corner of Lima Center Road), in Bridgewater Township. This wonderful barn setting has served as our gathering place for previous MAHS picnics, and we are very pleased that Norma has agreed to once again host this event!
MAHS will supply plates, utensils, napkins, cups, etc., as well as a variety of drinks. We ask you to bring a dish of your choice to share.
We will also have our usual “white elephant” ticket event. Please consider bringing an item from around your home (old, new, antique, unusual) that you wish to donate to this fun event. You will receive a ticket for the drawing to choose one of the items.
We’d appreciate your response if you are coming, so we can plan accordingly. Please reply to rayberg@att.net
