The Lost Films of Amoskeag
The Lost Films of Amoskeag
Saturday, February 28, 2026
11:00 a.m.
In the fall of 1968, redevelopment was dramatically reshaping Manchester’s Millyard. The Manchester Historic Association considered producing a film to document the before and after. Two brothers submitted black and white film in hopes of being chosen for the project, which was abandoned due to a lack of funding in the 1970s. The film sat forgotten on a shelf until last summer.
In June 1978, WGBH-TV in Boston produced a half-hour program called “The Amoskeag Transcripts” based on the work of Tamara Hareven and Randolph Langenbach. It explained what happened after the mills closed and the impact on Manchester’s population.
On February 28th we’ll show both of “The Lost Films of Amoskeag.”
