Manchester (pop. 52,000) is located just east of Hartford. The town grew in the early to mid 1800s with the development of the Cheney Brothers Sild Corp. Today the city is a major manufacturing center in the area.
The house was built by Timothy Cheney in 1785. On display are some of the original 18th century furnishings, much of which was bought in Philadelphia by one of the Timothy Cheney's sons.
