Be part of Manchester’s oldest and longest-meeting organization, the Elder Brethren. Enjoy friendship and a beautiful day at one of Manchester’s most iconic sites, the Tuck’s Point Chowder House -- which exists because of this storied organization.
On September 7, Manchester’s Elder Brethren will assemble at Tuck’s Point Chowder House for its 142nd annual picnic. It’s an appropriate spot, considering members of the organization created Manchester’s seaside park to benefit town residents in 1878 and the public has enjoyed this stunning place ever since. This article originally ran in The Manchester Cricket in July 1978 when the fraternal organization celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The Manchester Cricket newspaper has been in continuous publication since 1888. Look back to see what was happening on this date in decades past.
