July: Trolly Disaster and the Tallest Man in the World
Pack your camp chairs and blankets for Campfire Stories in the Story Park! It’s like an outdoor storytime for history enthusiasts!
During these monthly events, we’ll regale you with tales of Manistee’s past.
We remind you that the vast majority of campfire stories are traditionally told to provide thrills and chills.These stories are not for the faint of heart!
July’s Campfire Stories event focuses on the deep roots of Forest Festival history. In fact, we’ll be going way back to the year 1917, when the summer festival was celebrated as homecoming. Some of the stories that we’ll cover include the Orchard Beach trolley disaster and the life and death of the tallest man in the world.
There will be a very limited supply of chairs, so we encourage you to bring your own lawn chairs, camp chairs or comfy blankets.
Please note that the library building is closed during this event.
In the case of inclement weather, the event will be cancelled. Check the library’s Facebook page for up to date information.
Intended for adults, this event is free and open to the public. No library card or registration required.
