Ekwanok Country
Club
3262 Main Street
Founded in 1899 , the Ekwanok Golf Club is widely known for its spectacular views and challenging play . Although the club is private and is not open to the public for touring purposes , it nevertheless played a central role in luring one of Manchester ’ s most famous residents to Southern Vermont . Several years after Robert Todd Lincoln became president of the Pullman Company in 1897 , he returned to Manchester to visit his business partner , Edward Isham . Lincoln was an avid golfer , and Isham was the first president of the newly-opened Ekwanok Golf Club .

FULGOR MILANO
After a few spirited rounds of golf , Lincoln became wholeheartedly enamored with Manchester and the Ekwanok Golf Club . He then made an offer to purchase a parcel of land from Isham , who owned a sizable property nearby . Although Isham refused the offer , Lincoln eventually purchased hundreds of acres of Isham ’ s land after Isham passed away in 1902 . In 1903 , Lincoln began building up his property , and became President of the Ekwanok Golf Club soon thereafter . He not only remained the Club ’ s President until he passed away in 1926 , but also served as Chair of the Finance Committee for decades .
