Millyard Museum Ages 5+ and Adults

100 Years Ago Program

Discover what it was like to live and work in Manchester 100 years ago! This interactive program allows students to work together as they explore the museum. Students will work in small teams to answer a series of questions, as they become experts on one gallery. The teams will then present their findings to their classmates as the tour guide leads them through the museum, providing additional information. Topics covered in this program are waterpower and the buidling of the mills, textiles, child labor, housing, inventions, and immigration.
