Read the book that started it all.  Rev. D. F. Lamson produced this book for the town of Manchester for the occassion of the town's 250th anniversary in 1895, with information on its early history and inhabitants.  The Manchester Historical Society (today the Manchester-by-the-Sea Museum) was formed in 1886 to support this effort, and we present the opportunity to own a copy of the original 1895 edition.
