Spirit Voices from Old Manatee – Season VI
Time: 6:30 pm til 8:30 pm
Location: Manatee Village Historical Park, 1404 Manatee Ave E, Bradenton, Florida 34208
Description: Near one of the oldest interior settlements of Florida, not far from the mystic “Singing River,” exists one of the oldest organized burying grounds on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Your rendezvous with the past awaits...
This outdoor drama and cemetery tour premiered in 2011 as an original living history production on a stage draped with mossy oaks. It features costumed actors who portray the early settlers interred in the 1850 Manatee Burying Grounds with riveting graveside stories evolving from archives, descendants, diaries, military logs, books and legend. Viewers learn more about the development of the area from 1840 to the turn of the century. The program is an experience like no other, unfolding at the Old Settler’s House at Manatee Village Historical Park with a Victorian wake and continuing by torch-light “on the other side,” at the 1850 Manatee Burying Grounds as the sun sets. The audience leaves with a new appreciation for the contributions made by pioneers to the Manatee lands through tales of their triumphs, tragedies and amusing escapades.
