Town of Manchester Newsletter for Important Town News, Information, and Events.
Help publicize our efforts to preserve a part of Manchester history by coming to our Saturday, July 29, open house event from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the grassy area in front of the cabin at Case Mountain. We’ll have supplies to make your own doorknob sign. There’ll be musical entertainment depending on the weather, but the event is rain or shine. You can view our beautiful framed cabin artwork and perhaps make an auction bid on it. Walk in about a half mile along the Carriage Path from either the Birch Mountain Road parking lot (near intersection of Camp Meeting Road), or the Spring Street waterfall side. Signs will direct you. Additional parking at the Greenway lot on Camp Meeting Road at the intersection of Porter Street, near Highland Park Market. Matt Panecki, President of Case Mountain Cabin, Inc., will describe some options for improvements to the historic summer house. The cabin is in the Case Brothers National Historic District, and is described as a “circa 1918 log cabin…fashioned of salvaged timber from the Highland Park property at the time of the chestnut blight. Family members believe the cabin, built for Carol Maude Case Dennison and her husband Robert Dennison (b. l875), was erected by mill workers under the supervision of French-Canadian builders brought to Manchester specifically for the project.” The public can come any time between 3:00 and 5:00.
