The Bradenton, Florida attraction Manatee Village Historical Park is a national historic site located at 604 15th Street East Bradenton. This Bradenton, Florida attraction is open to the public free of charge.

The Manatee County Historical Commission collects, records and preserves the history of Manatee County and strives to share this information with county residents and visitors. The Commission accomplishes these tasks through the establishment and operation of the Bradenton, Florida attraction Manatee Village Historical Park and through the educational programs presented both at the park and throughout the community.

The Old Meeting House was the third occupied by the oldest Christian Congregation south of Tampa. Construction was begun in 1887, then halted due to a yellow fever epidemic. The Bradenton, Florida attraction church was completed in 1889. This old Methodist Church has been an integral part of the history of Manatee County. In fact, it predates the County, and its leaders were instrumental in establishing the County.

The building was located 2 1/2 blocks north of the Historical Park (currently 315 15th Street East) and was a place of worship for 85 years. Donated by the Manatee United Methodist Church, this Bradenton, Florida attraction was moved to this site on the night of December 4, 1975. The church remains a consecrated house of worship and is still used for weddings, memorial services, and other religious events.
