One of Manchester’s most beloved landmarks, the Trask House on Union Street, was built in 1823 by local businesswoman, Abigail Hooper, who ran a thriving general store on the property. That same year, she married Captain Richard Trask, one of Manchester’s most successful merchant ship captains. Abigail outlived her husband by nearly 40 years and, at the time of her death at age 96, was revered as one of Manchester’s most enterprising and public-minded citizens.
