Manatee Village Historical Park will welcome visitors into one of the county’s oldest historic sites this October with two free guided tours of the 1850 Manatee Burying Grounds.
The cemetery tours are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. Participants will have an opportunity to explore Manatee County’s oldest established cemetery while learning about the people, families and stories connected to the area’s early history.
Staff from Manatee Village Historical Park will lead visitors through the historic grounds, offering a closer look at a site that provides a tangible connection to Manatee County’s past.
Both tours are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendance is limited to the first 30 participants for each tour, and those interested in attending are encouraged to arrive early.
Manatee Village Historical Park is located at 1404 Manatee Ave. E. in Bradenton.
