The Millyard Museum will open its exhibit celebrating the Queen City Athletic Hall of Fame with an open house to be held Oct. 19 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Although the exhibit opened March 9, due to Covid protocols, a special exhibit reception will be held later this spring. The exhibit is scheduled to run through August of 2021.
“We’re sure there are photos on living room walls all over the city and with today’s technology, people email them to us or simply bring the photos in, we can scan them, return them, and the images will then become part of the display over time,” said John Clayton, executive director of the Manchester Historic Association.
The Open House will also mark the beginning of the MHA’s annual silent auction, which will be conducted on Facebook through December 14.
