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.

Current Campaigns

Lighting Up History

 
The Manning Hausbarn Heritage Park family recently lost a dear friend, leader, and founding visionary, Freda Dammann. From the earliest dreams of preserving our local heritage to the joyous celebrations that brought it to life, Freda was there — planning, organizing, and inspiring. Her favorite holiday was Christmas, she cherished this time of year as it exemplified family, joy, and community. Our wish is to start a new tradition of lighting up the Hausbarn Heritage Park in memory of Freda and invite you to join us in celebrating and lighting up history.
 

Tree Campaign


Over the last two years we have had to cut 250+ tree down due to the emerald ash bore. With this campaign we are working to replace as many trees as we can for future generations.

Purchase a 10 foot tree for $300 in memory or honor of loved one or as a family. Includes tree, mulching, staking, watering, and a nameplate stake to honor loved one.
