MANCHESTER BOROUGH

WILL BE CELEBRATING THEIR 150^TH ANNIVERSARY

This is an opportunity for everyone to join in for this Celebration. Events for all ages will be available. We will talk about our history and see how it has influenced us today as we celebrate with the planned activities. We’ll also have a chance to reminisce about the “good ole days” when baseball games, bands, and riding a trolley to swim at Elm Beach were the high points for entertainment. Come and join us; this Celebration is for everyone!
