The Manlius Historical Museum has permanent displays including a schoolroom and general store, as well as a large exhibit room with special displays each year. Attached to the museum is an authentic working Blacksmith Shop and an authentic non-working Outhouse. The lawn is maintained by our sister organization, the Manlius Herb Society.

To open Sept 12 !

This fall, the Manlius Historical Society will exhibit, “The Butcher, the Baker, Candlestick Maker!,” honoring early local business and traditional industry and craftwork in our community. By giving recognition to the workmanship and craft of early businesses here in Manlius, the exhibit will highlight the importance these endeavors were to the history of our community.

Two hundred years ago, main street looked very different from today. Imagine our community without shopping malls and national retailers. No Sunday shopping or 24 hour Sunoco. Before beef was available at grocery stores and household items were purchased at CVS, the availability of necessities relied on the efforts of the entire business community.

The exhibition will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 12 at the Manlius Historical Museum, located at 101 Scoville, Manlius. The museum will be open every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. thereafter until November 21.

We hope you get the opportunity to stop by the Museum to check out this fascinating exhibit.
