Through determination, those early pioneers built their homesteads and found life in the Manfred area to be good. In 2000, with that same determination, some of the descendants of the original settlers became modern-day pioneers by founding the organization Manfred History and Preservation, Inc. in order to help recapture the spirit of those early pioneers. By preserving their history and restoring some of the existing buildings, the story of Manfred can be safeguarded for future generations. The intent of MHP, Inc. is to serve as an ongoing example of this pioneer spirit, not only in the Manfred area but also throughout rural America, thereby providing a focus of appreciation for the foundation of this great country. At this website, you are invited to view the photos of Manfred and its people, read about its history, and learn of current history and preservation projects. Be sure to check out the Events and Newsletters pages. They will keep you informed of current and past activities, successes and of opportunities available to the public.  [ TOP OF PAGE ] |
