1850 Manatee Burying Ground

​Manatee Village Historical Park works in partnership with the City of Bradenton to offer free self-guided walking tours of the 1850 Manatee Burying Ground. The Burying Ground is located East of Manatee Village Historical Park (across 15th St East). This is the oldest established cemetery in Manatee County.  

 

Pick up a key to the cemetery and an information packet in our Wiggins Store. Visitors will stroll past the entrance of our 1887 Church and use the gates that lead to the Burying Ground. The 1850 Manatee Burying Ground must be locked and the key returned before it is time for visitors to leave museum grounds.
