Past to Present: The Amoskeag Story Returns
“Amoskeag Revisited: A Fifty-Year Retrospective” swings open at the Millyard Museum on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. This retrospective revisits a landmark 1975 exhibit—“Amoskeag, A Sense of Place, A Way of Life”—curated by architectural historian Randolph Langenbach, featuring historic and contemporary photographs, salvaged mill components, and millworker recollections. Originally displayed at the Currier Gallery, that exhibit doubled its attendance records and galvanized Manchester’s appreciation for its mill heritage. Now, half a century later, the Millyard Museum brings elements of that trailblazer—and never-before-seen Langenbach images—back into the spotlight, free to the public with RSVP.
