The Manatee Village Historical Park's collections consist mainly of restored buildings from Manatee County's pioneer past, along with photos, documents and artifacts from this period.

Manatee Village Historical Park's educational programming includes permanent and temporary exhibits, field trips for students grade 3 and up, select lectures and historically themed annual events, Manatee History Day (an affilliate of the National History Day program), and outreach programming. All of the afore mentioned programs are available at not cost. Adult group tours are available for groups of ten and up, at a cost of $5 per person, with two weeks advance notice. Admission is required for some annual special event programming.

The Manatee Village Historical Park operates thanks to the support of the Manatee County Clerk of Court's Department of Historical Resources and the Manatee County Historical Commission, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving the pioneering spirit and heritage of the early settlers of the area.
