Amoskeag Millyard Scenic and Cultural Byway is a one-mile route through downtown Manchester, New Hampshire's historic mill district along the Merrimack River. The short byway runs from the Granite Street Bridge, reached from Exit 5 off Route 293, to Commercial Street in the heart of the old millyard, with an alternate approach via the Amoskeag Bridge at Exit 6. Rather than covering distance, the route packs in New Hampshire's industrial history: the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company's brick mills once made it one of the largest textile complexes in the world, and many of those buildings still line the byway today, repurposed as offices, apartments, and cultural venues. Along the corridor, the Palace Theater hosts the New Hampshire Symphony and Opera League of New Hampshire, and the Currier Museum of Art is a short detour away. Because it sits in the state's largest city, the byway doubles as an urban scenic route, with river access, restaurants, and enough packed into its single mile that visitors often spend a full day rather than a quick drive-through.
