Mike McCooey will give a presentation on MacNaughtan's, his family’s hotel business, on Wednesday, November 18, at 7 pm at the First Congregational Church in Manchester. McCooey's parents owned the hotel during the years he was growing up in Manchester.
Manchester Journal editor D.K. Simonds wrote in his book History of Manchester, published in 1915: "So far one large first class hotel seems to accommodate about all of that class of custom but there are two or three smaller hotels. The Orvis Cottage kept by C. F. Orvis and MacNaughton's by Ramsey MacNaughton, also a larger house the Orchard Park Hotel by Mrs. C. H. Willard. All of these accommodate quite a large number of guests."
Refreshments will be served and all are welcome.
