Manistee Fire Station Receives Guinness World Record 

Way to go, Manistee! Michigan's history has been recognized on a global
scale-the Manistee Fire Station at 281 First Street was awarded the title
for "Oldest Continuously Manned Operating Fire Station" by Guinness World
Records. This is the first time Guinness World Records has ever made this
award designation-one that required the Manistee Fire Department to prove it
has not only been in operation but also staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year as a fully manned and paid professional fire
department since it opened in 1889.

BEEP BEEP! 

We still have some seats for our 

Frank Lloyd Wright Tour this August.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect and a problematic personality.
Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed
buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural
styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He
also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left
his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends,
and home in an arson-murder. Wright's biography is more astounding than
fiction-and we'll experience the whole story on our tour.
