MANVEL DAYS was a fun weekend. We had so many family oriented activities going on. The Parade was great!! We had grilled supper on Friday at the Manvel park. We were grateful for the support!! Saturday we hosted the Sloppy Joe Luncheon at the Senior Center...very grateful for the use of their beautiful AIR CONDITIONED Facility!!! Thank you for all your generosity. We will have funds for upcoming work at the Manvel Historical Society building!! Watch for dates we will open up so the public can see displays. We are so proud of the progress we have made. This all would not be able to happen without so many generous donations and volunteers!! Thank you!!
Also, as you view Museum interior pictures, many thanks to all who have donated valuable items. Preserving our local history is our goal. Check with us, if you have any special items to add to our Museum. Also, we continue to identify the names on vintage photos...so we welcome help with any identification and any corrections on photos.

We received a donation of a vintage kitchen table. What a beautiful, unique piece. Very grateful to our friend, Sharon Preuss. Such a special look back in time. We will treasure this. Many special meals have been shared at this table.
