Old Red School House Roof Replaced


In keeping with our long term goals of preservation of our local museums, the Manito Historical Society has replaced the roof on the old Red School House located behind Manito Community Bank. After being unsuccessful in receiving a local bid, we contracted Kelley Construction of Pekin for the roof replacement. There are other smaller jobs to be done to get the buildings in good repair. If you would like to help donate time, craftsmanship or money to the preservation of these buildings please write to the Manito Historical Society, PO Box 304, Manito, IL, 61546, Any and all help from the community is greatly appreciated.
