Ever wondered where some of the old businesses were located in Manito? Do you know the history behind some of our historic homes and the prominent people who lived there? What about Oak Grove Cemetery and little Mary Cox? As part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration the Manito Historical Society and the Sesquicentennial Committee is sponsoring a Historical Tour of Manito. This information along with many other Manito tidbits will be narrated to you from a historical society member while you relax and ride the trolley around town. Tours will be from 12 Noon-4pm on the hour on Saturday, August 30th at the Manito Popcorn Festival. Tickets may be purchased in advance for $2 at Manito Community Bank. If any of the four times are not filled in advance, tickets will be available at the Historical Society Booth in the park on Saturday. This is a great opportunity to give your feet a rest, learn something about historic Manito, or take a ride down memory lane.
