THE COMMUNITIES OF THE SHIRES
Manchester is synonymous with shopping. Charles F. Orvis got it started in 1856 when he opened a store called Orvis dedicated to fly-fishing and accessories.
The town is also home to many leading clothing brands, whose easy-toget-to outlet stores make bargain hunting a pleasure. For books and gifts, there’ s the well-stocked Northshire Bookstore in the center of town, which hosts frequent readings by leading writers.
The snowboard was invented in 1977 by Jake Burton Carpenter in his Manchester garage. The leading seller of snowboards worldwide, Burton, is named after him.
