Historical Society lecture series & membership drive

Robert Kanehl and Dave Smith will present a free event series to encourage membership in the Historical Society. The events will be interactive, so bring questions and comments. New member forms will be available, and new members will receive a free copy of the illustrated booklet The Miracle Workers, a $15 value. Here's the schedule:

Sunday October 30 at 1:00 p.m. “The Manchester Green.”

Sunday November 6 at 1:00 p.m. "Famous People From Manchester.”

Sunday November 13 at 1:00 p.m., Bob will have an open conversation with audience members about the history of Manchester. Have your questions ready!

Sunday November 20 at 1:00 p.m., Dave Smith will present a program about Manchester inventors and their inventions -- some inventions had national significance and some went nowhere.

Donations, as always, are gratefully accepted. Questions may be directed to 860-647-9983 or admin-assistant@manchesterhistory.org.

 Lectures will be presented at the History Center, 175 Pine Street. The building is accessible to wheelchairs.

Mr. Kanehl is the author of Historical Tales of Manchester, Connecticut and several novels. He writes a biweekly Journal Inquirer column to teach Manchester history to the younger generations and residents unfamiliar with the town’s past. He volunteers as a docent at the Old Manchester Museum and the Woodbridge Farmstead.

Mr. Smith is the curator of the Manchester Historical Society and has also served as its president, treasurer, and director over the years.
