AARP NH and the Manchester Historic Association: Locomotive Manufacturing in Manchester

All Aboard!!!

We’ve got a virtual seat for you as we take a look back at locomotive manufacturing in the Queen City with the Manchester Historic Association on December 9 at 11 AM.

Although much of the emphasis on Manchester history focuses on textiles, both the Amoskeag Locomotive Works and the Manchester Locomotive Works were astounding in their scope, producing as many as fifty 250-ton steam locomotives a year. 

Join AARP NH and Daniel Peters from Manchester Historic Association for a free webinar to learn more about the history of locomotives in the Queen City.
