Golf in Manchester

Manchester is a Hartford County city east of Hartford whose Cheney Brothers silk mill complex—the largest silk manufacturing operation in America during the nineteenth century—left a legacy of corporate architecture and worker housing unique in New England. Manchester Country Club provides the city's professional community with private golf in the hilly terrain above the Hockanum River valley, serving an established membership in a city that continues to evolve from its silk manufacturing identity toward a more diverse service-economy community. The Cheney Brothers historic district—the United States' largest complex of silk manufacturing facilities—preserves the architectural legacy of Connecticut's most significant industrial heritage in a neighborhood that has been designated a National Historic Landmark for its remarkable state of preservation.
