Over the years, they have gone to and hosted trainings, received several historic preservation grants, completed site inventory forms for over sixty properties, helped property owners determine appropriate ways to rehabilitate their historic buildings, and completed a nomination for the Downtown Commercial District and the historic water tower to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Historic Water Tower
Manning's 1903 water tower isn't like other small-town water towers. It has a very unique history. Designed by Iowa State professor Anston Marston and college freshman (and Manning native) Henry Brunnier, it has more history than most people realize. Because of the unique history, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Click here for more information.
