Support Our Park

The Manning Hausbarn Heritage Park stands as a living tribute to the history, culture, and community spirit that make our town unique. From the iconic 1660s German Hausbarn to the beautifully preserved historic structures across the grounds, the park exists because of generations of visionaries, volunteers, and supporters who believe in preserving our past for the future.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses who value heritage, education, and community experiences. Your support helps us maintain and restore our historic buildings, expand educational programming, host beloved community events, and keep the park welcoming and accessible to all.
Whether through a one-time gift, an annual contribution, or participation in one of our special fundraising campaigns, every donation strengthens our mission and helps us continue sharing the stories, traditions, and history that define Manning.
Together, we can protect this treasured place—and ensure it continues to inspire generations to come.
