Legos in Manchester /Turn of the Century Warner

By Shay Zeller on Monday, March 20, 2006.

We take a look at New Hampshire at the turn of the century...with a twist. A group of LEGO architects is re-creating Manchester's mill yard using the popular building blocks. The scale model considers details right down to the citizens' top hats.

We'll also talk with a filmmaker who's trying to capture the town of Warner as it was at the end of the 19th century.

And, a conversation with sports journalist Jackie MacMullan of the Boston Globe. Her award-winning work has earned her the opportunity to be a visiting journalist this week at the University of New Hampshire.
