Historical Walking Tour
The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Manchester Historic Association and the City of Manchester Department of Health, has developed a self-guided walking tour to take residents through much of the amazing history encompassed in Manchester. The purpose of the guide is two-fold: first, to support tourism by providing visitors with an interesting historical experiential tour that is authentic and unique to Manchester, and second, to serve the greater Manchester community by providing a healthy outdoor activity that will remind residents of the Manchester they once knew and reintroduce them to the Manchester of today. Increasing daily physical activity, eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, and avoiding the use of tobacco products will greatly reduce an individual's risk of developing a chronic disease, such as heart disease or diabetes. As a community, we can make strides towards better cardiovascular health - using this guide to explore Manchester's history on foot is one way to do this.

To view the guide online, please visit the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce-Walking Tour.
