About the Community

Meet Me in Manchester Manchester is a village in Washtenaw County, Michigan, situated on the River Raisin, founded in 1833 and named after Manchester, England. The community grew up around the river’s water power and historic Mill Pond. Our small town retains a charm that can only be enjoyed by slowing down to take in the scenery and variety of activities available for the whole family.

We have four parks and the Leonard Preserve that offer beautiful settings for gatherings or walking. Downtown provides unique family restaurants, arts, antiques and gifts. The Italianate architecture preserves the charm of 19th century America, and includes several historic churches and homes. Join us in the Village!
