Great place... Few cities our size could have a museum like this, which bodes much for Manchester... History always has something new to say

Dan McGuire

Well done, great history of the textile mills in Manchester NH. Must see if you're a firefighter or other responder, gorgeous restored antique fire engine this was manufactured in the city.

Yvonne Price

Much smaller than I anticipated but it was still interesting. They had "special closed hours" that didn't show up anywhere prior to our arrival so we arrived 2 hours before the "special time" opening. There is no parking lot just for the museum and so parking is a big challenge.

Joe Cofield

Fun informative museum. Lots of good local history.

Great little museum in the heart of Manchvegas. Awesome exhibits on the history of the city.

Raymond Bushey

Really pretty neat. Being able to look into the canal is really cool and love the steamer

L Myrski

Not as easy to find as one might think. They could use signage to help people find it, and let people know it exists. It was very informative though once I did find it.

Everett Stone

This is a must stop if you love history. Tickets are cheap and it doesn't take long to walk through the whole place. They have some amazing nh relics in there.

For more than a century, Manchester was dominated by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, whose buildings still define the cityscape of today. One of those buildings is the home of this museum, which presents interesting and notable artifacts from the company's manufacturing heyday. It also describes the company's decline and bankruptcy, and the subsequent revitalization of the area, which continues to this day. If you're interested in local history, definitely check this place out. The museum is one level below ground and was only accessible by elevator during our visit.

Surprisingly very interesting and informative. I'm glad I went.

Lance Eaton

The Millyard Museum is a fun museum where you can learn all about the history of Manchester and its mills. It's pretty informative about the European history of the city and provides some great artifacts and film reels about the city's history. It's a decent trip for adults and kids.

Christopher Bensch

An outstanding museum with a fascinating story about Manchester and it's past.

Robert Dionne

Gets better and better every time I visit!

Mandy

We spent two hours here. This is very well done, and worth every penny.

Don Doughty

One of the best exhibits in NH, tour The Millyard Museum and see Manchester history. At entrance, a penstock greets you, once delivering water to turbines powering the mill. Entering the main hall you see the vibrance water power brought to the Queen City. While your are in the building climb the stairs to check out the Millyard Lego Model at the SEE Science Center.

Lea Davis

Great story and great presentation. Loved the artifacts!

Tim Thompson

Great place to learn about the history of the Mills and Manchester. The layout is logical and covers not only what happened, but why and how it effects the people back then. We spent almost 2 hours going through the exhibits.

Yangsook Kim

We can learn something new

Nancy Klarman

Very interesting & educational

Alyssa Weber

Definitely a must-see in the Manchester area. We spent about 3 hours reading through the exhibit, but some families may not need as much time. I loved that there were so many interactive parts of the exhibit that would interest young children. There were also lots of places to sit down, which my 90-year old grandmother appreciated! You don't see that in many small museums. What a great way to spend a Saturday, so glad we stopped by and learned so much about Manchester.

Ly He

Great for families and always changing

Frank Ferko

Fine museum with mostly static displays through the history of NH and Manchester. I grew up in Manchester so lots of interesting things. They have interesting world war 1 exhibit. Low cost. I joined as member as planning on attending Feb presentation on The Ledge.

Martha Pepek

This is a wonderful museum with great historical information about Manchester and the mills.

William Martin

A small yet beautiful museum: they have artifacts predating the European settlement of the region in addition to a wealth of knowledge from the textile industry when it dominated the river banks. The artifacts are extremely well kept and displayed. This is the perfect way to look into the history of Manchester.

Shaun Flores

Great history lesson with this place. My kids loved it.

Lady D and her RV

Wonderful place. Beautiful building and great history as well. My goodness all the displays could go on forever and forever. We took so many pictures and the museum keeps changing so it's always interesting. It's best to go early because there is so much to see. Great for all ages and see if your local library provides day passes. Manchester did a few years ago. Call both locations to confirm. Would go definitely go again. Plus the children's science museum was next door as well.
