Manchester 1772: Work & Life in A Small Fishing Town
Manchester Historical Museum
Time is running out to see the exhibit.
This is the state’s only exhibit on what was, for 200 years, the economic engine of Massachusetts: the catching, curing, and trading of salt cod. Nothing remains of that industry but what is displayed here in Manchester-by-the-Sea. This multi-media exhibit’s outdoor fishyard includes the only American collection of authentic and reproduction fisheries equipment from the 1700s, and relates various aspects of the 1772 town and its people through video, illustrated text panels, and artifact displays.
