This village has been known as a resort destination for over 100 years. Popular with the elite of bygone days including the Lincolns (whose estate "Hildene" is a now a public museum), Manchester today continues the tradition of being a popular destination point for travelers. The site of the world famous Orvis Company (specializing in the sport of fly fishing) and the Equinox Hotel, lots of Inns, fine dining and shopping, Manchester is a haven for tourists. It was also the site of a spectacular trial in the 1800's, the Boorn Murder Trial, where the Boorn Brothers confessed and were sentenced to hang in the death of a man who turned up again alive in the nick of time!
