Millyard Museum and a French Canadian Brunch Manchester, NH
Tuesday, January 17 9:30am - 4:30pm Cost -- $47 includes admission and brunch
The Museum features the permanent exhibit, Woven in Time: 11,000 Years of Amoskeag Falls, that tells the story of Manchester and the people who have lived and worked here. The story starts with the native peoples and continues with the area's early farmers and lumbermen, and the beginnings of industry. Then the story focuses on the development of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Co. This powerful corporation would become the largest textile producing company in the world. Their vast brick millyard still dominates the cityscape. The story continues into the 20th century, as innovative businesses flourish, and new groups of immigrants come to Manchester. Before our museum visit we'll enjoy brunch @ Chez Vachon.

This selection of works by Paul Cezanne, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Mary Cassatt highlights the Impressionists' creative use of process and materials to represent subjects in a way that had never been done before.
