Manchester is situated in Hartford County, Connecticut. Regardless of the season, you will find pleasant ways to spend your days in Manchester. In the summer, you can go support the local minor league baseball team, the Manchester Silk Worms, or check out the Shady Glen Dairy Stores, an ice cream lover's dream with homemade flavors sure to satisfy any taste with its freshly made dessert. At Thanksgiving, the Manchester Road Race attracts thousands of participants, rivaling only the Boston Marathon for attendees. And any time of year, there are historical sites to be explored in Manchester, such as the Cheney Silk Mill. At one time, it was the world's largest silk mill, and it still contains industrial equipment, exhibits and interesting knowledge for the whole family. Another famous mill in this area is the Hillard Mills, which is the oldest textile mill in the United States. If all your exploring stirs up your appetite, try Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse, a rural Canadian dining experience south of the Canadian/US border, with a menu heavy on game and meat, but also offering delicious pastas and seafoods.
