From 1989 to 2009, entrance into the Queen City Athletic Hall of Fame became the highest accolade that the Manchester sporting community could bestow upon an athlete.
Although the QC Hall has been dormant for the past decade, the Millyard Museum recently obtained the commemorative plaque that is inscribed with the names of the honorees, and that plaque has become the foundation for a new exhibit.
"We've spent the past six months creating a repository of photos that had never been compiled before," said MHA Executive Director John Clayton. "It has been a challenge and a delight, and we believe we have a very representative sampling of athletes dating back more than half a century."
This exhibit at the Millyard Museum will showcase athletes - male and female - from a wide variety of sports, ranging from Major League Baseball (including Mike Flanagan, pictured above) to college basketball to professional football, plus swimming, golf, track and field, gymnastics, even snowshoe racing.
