Main Street Week is a time to reflect on the history of Wilburton. Wilburton became a city in 1902. At that time there were many businesses which catered to the thriving mining industry and many new buildings were going up. These buildings still stand on our Main Street today.

 

Monday and Tuesday, September 16th and 17th, we will have our 5th grade walking tours taking place on Main Street. This tour is to introduce students to these buildings and to the history of our city. To provide the kids a visual of the stories, Main Street partners with the High School drama club. The students will speak on the buildings while in costume.
