PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Serving as President of the Manchester Historic Association since 2011 has
been an interesting experience. I have had the opportunity to work with a
wonderful Board of Trustees and a staff that work diligently to preserve
Manchester’s history and to make it available to adults, children and scholars.
Trying to stay true to the organization’s mission within our financial constraints
continues to be a challenge. However, this year we have made progress towards
financial stability. We have renegotiated the loan acquired during the renovation of
the Research Center; moving it to Centrix Bank, a bank with a local focus and
interest. We have moved our endowment to RBC Wealth Management and have
the expectation of more personal management. Those are only partial steps toward
ensuring the continued viability of our organization. Other steps must include grant
writing on the part of staff and an increased involvement in fund raising by the
Trustees. I am confident both staff and Trustees will rise to the task.
This year the Manchester Historic Association continued to provide tours for
school groups and for adults. Again, in the fall we provided the community with an
opportunity to visit interesting landmarks during our Historic Architecture Tour.
The evening at the Carpenter House was enjoyed by many. The recent Preservation
Awards Dinner was very successful thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, staff
and Trustees. If you were not present, you missed an evening made more fun than
usual by Trustee Ed Brouder and Honorary Chair John Clayton. Jane Beaulieu
provided great centerpieces that you could take home and eat!! You can’t do that at
many events.
Our Collections Committee under the guidance of Assistant Executive
Director Jeff Barraclough, and Trustee Phil Pajakowski and with much help from
Curatorial Assistant Sue DiBella-Olson has made great progress in organizing and
caring for our collections. We have a new website up and running; thanks in large
part to Trustee Tony Matos and his staff at Altos Marketing.
I look forward to new Board leadership. Fresh, new ideas are necessary to keep
organizations moving forward. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to serve
as President and look forward to moving into the role of Past President.
Judith K. Pence, President, Board of Trustees

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
I wish to thank every person, business and institution listed in this Annual
Report. Each of you has contributed something of yourself to this organization.
Our members are the foundation of the Manchester Historic Association, and our
many donors and volunteers make it all happen. In the past several months we have
lost several dear friends of our organization. I would like to write a few words
about some of these people, who have meant so much to us.
Trustee Emeritus Warren A. Bodwell passed away on March 17, 2013. He was
born in Manchester in 1930, and earned a business management degree from the
University of New Hampshire. He served in the US Army, and later joined his
family’s insurance business, Lockwood, Bodwell & Covill where he worked until he
retired. Mr. Bodwell was a member of the Manchester Historic Association for over
50 years, and served on the Board of Trustees in several positions, including as
President in the 1960s. He and his late wife Ann were generous donors to the
Association. They supported our organization in many ways, including contributing
to the capital campaigns that created the Millyard Museum and that renovated our
1931 headquarters building at 129 Amherst Street. In recent years Mr. Bodwell lived
in Alton, New Hampshire, and had served as president of the Alton Historical
Society.
Trustee Emeritus James A. Shanahan Jr. was a member of our organization for
over 40 years. He was born in 1926 in Manchester and was a lifelong resident of the
city. He died on February 27, 2013 at his winter home in Naples, Florida. He
served in the army during World War II and was injured at the Battle of the Bulge.
He graduated from Dartmouth College and Boston University School of Law, and
was a Certified Public Accountant. He was the managing partner of the local
Deloitte & Touche office for many years. He was also a community leader on many
fronts, and was active in Democratic politics. He served on the board of the
Manchester Historic Association from 1974 to 2002, and was President in the late
1980s. He and his late wife Judy were members and supporters of the Association,
contributing each year to the annual appeal, and donating to the capital campaigns.
I would also like to recall the lives of other members who passed away recently.
These include the indomitable May Gruber, who was so admired by so many for
her business acumen and energetic spirit. Mrs. Gruber extended many kindnesses to
the Association over the years. Fred Kfoury, Jr. was a lover of history, a force for
good in the community, and a devoted supporter of our organization. Osmond R.
“O. R.” Cummings was also a long-time member and generous supporter. He wrote
a wonderful book about Manchester’s trolley system that is an important resource
for anyone interested in the colorful history of public transportation in our city.
I offer a fond farewell to these individuals, and to the other departed members
of the Manchester Historic Association.

COLLECTIONS REPORT
Museums and other historical organizations have a responsibility to care for
and preserve the historical items that the public has entrusted to them. The
Manchester Historic Association is constantly working to ensure that our
collections of historical objects, archives, photographs, and books are both well
cared for and are made available so that others may learn to appreciate the city’s
interesting and rich history.
Through the efforts of staff and volunteers, we are continuing to make the
collection more accessible to the public. One way this is being accomplished is
through the online database, accessible through our website. There are currently
over 9,000 records of items in the collection online, over 7,000 of which are from
the Association’s photograph collection. We are continually adding to the material
that is available for research. Several hundred photographs have been added to the
database, including a collection of Straw School class photos, images of houses and
other city buildings taken by the Manchester Housing Authority from the 1950s
through 1970s, and class photos from the Notre Dame School of Nursing. A major
undertaking has been to digitize our historic postcard collection. This includes over
800 Manchester scenes, from bird’s eye views of the city to views of city landmarks
and streets, to images of Lake Massabesic and Pine Island Park. This online catalog
is a great repository of images of Manchester’s history and I often hear from people
who enjoy looking through the pictures. I encourage everyone to take a look!
Another major project has been taking place at our off-site storage facility that
houses our collection of historical objects. Suzanne DiBella-Olson has been
working with us as Curatorial Assistant, a position funded through a grant from the
Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation. Sue has been researching the history
of each piece in the furniture and ceramics collections, rediscovering many
interesting items and advancing our understanding of these objects that are
important to Manchester’s history.
We are also continuously adding to our collection. In recent months we have
received many new items through the generous donations of our members and
other supporters. These include log books that recorded water levels for the canal
gate at the Amoskeag dam in the 1880s, letters written by a woman who served as a
boarding house keeper in Manchester in the 1840s, and a sample book of cotton
dress goods produced by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. Last year, the
Association hosted photo scanning sessions as part of the New Hampshire Union
Leader’s efforts to produce the book Manchester Memories. Thanks to the many
people who brought in photographs to be either scanned or donated, the Historic
Association has added many historical images of Manchester to its collection. The
Association also received a generous donation from the Currier Museum of Art of
photographs taken by local photographer Eric Sanford. These Manchester scenes
were included in an exhibit of his work at the Millyard Museum last year.
It is my hope that the Manchester Historic Association, through its collection
and educational programs, will help people better understand and appreciate
Manchester’s unique history.

EDUCATION REPORT
I am asked a lot of questions. Often it’s a question that brought a visitor to the
Millyard Museum in the first place. They were curious about the brick buildings
they pass each day on their way to work or maybe they grew up in Manchester or
had family who worked in the mills. In my position as Museum Educator, I work
with many different people, among them are students, educators, volunteers, and
museum visitors. I get a lot of repeat questions but others are obscure and would
take a great deal of research to answer. No matter what the question may be it is
often the most memorable part of my interaction with someone.
In the fall of 2011 the Manchester Historic Association received a grant from
Amoskeag Industries, Inc., which allowed me to present in-class programs to
Manchester public schools fourth-grade classes. The program, “Millyard Memories:
The Story of the Amoskeag and Its Workers” was well-received. I was able to visit
seven elementary schools and present to 480 students. My first visit was to Gossler
Park Elementary School on Manchester’s West Side. It can be nerve-wracking to
present a program for the first time but I was prepared with a PowerPoint and
historical artifacts to help engage the students. I began the presentation and almost
immediately, students’ hands were raised. They would ask good questions, including
“What types of injuries were common in the mills?” and “What would happen if
you couldn’t come to work?” I eventually had to request that questions wait until
the end of the presentation to ensure we could finish on time. We are grateful to
Amoskeag Industries, Inc. for making these in-class programs possible.
Classrooms are not the only places where I get asked questions about
Manchester’s history. Each year the Millyard Museum hosts school children from
across the state. During the 2011-2012 school year the Millyard Museum saw about
1,000 students from 34 schools. A popular program we offer is the “Millyard
Discovery” outdoor walking tour geared to students. The Amoskeag Millyard
becomes the classroom. While we are discussing architecture we are surrounded by
the beautiful brick buildings. When talking about waterpower, I can show the
students the remaining granite walls of the original water power canals, and the
Merrimack River where the all this water power used to run the mills originated.
Being outside in the busy millyard can lend itself to some unexpected occurrences,
and unexpected question. Students will ask about the features of a building or about
the wildlife they observe along the Merrimack River. Through these walking tours
students become aware that they are surrounded by history every day.
The curiosity displayed by students, teachers, and museum visitors show that
the Manchester Historic Association is important. The community looks to this
organization as a place to learn and gain an understanding of the past. Sometimes I
have the answers and sometimes I don’t, but the wonderful thing about the
Association is that we have access to answers. Some of these can be found in the
exhibits at the Millyard Museum, others in the collections at the Research Center.
No matter what the question, I always appreciate it because it means that the
person is engaged and interested in Manchester’s history. What more could I ask
for?

TREASURER’S REPORT
The Board of Trustees took several important steps in Fiscal Year 2012 to
secure the long term financial health of the Manchester Historic Association. A
refinancing of the Association’s debt was initiated which will reduce monthly
payments and eliminate an interest rate swap agreement. The closing for the new
loan agreement with our new banking partner, Centrix Bank occurred on April 4,
2013. We are also entering into an agreement with a new financial manager, RBC
Wealth Management.
In addition, the board began planning for a major fundraising campaign to
support our mission and enhance activities at the Millyard Museum. This campaign
will supplement the successful fundraising efforts the Association undertakes on a
yearly basis, including the Historic Preservation Awards dinner and the annual
appeal. It should be noted that both pulled in more revenue this fiscal year than last.
With the rebound in the financial markets, the value of our investments has
increased, up to $3.9 million at the end of Fiscal Year 2012. The MHA boasts
significant assets, including the Research Center building on Amherst Street and
endowment funds, which total $7.4 million.
This is a city rich in history and culture, and the MHA’s financial strength will
ensure Manchester’s story is told for generations to come.
