Wilburton Main Street Celebrates
MAIN STREET WEEK SEPTEMBER 16th-20th!!
Main Street Week is a time to reflect on the history of Wilburton, which 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. Some of these buildings still stand on our Main Street today.
Monday and Tuesday, September 16th and 17th, we had our 5th Grade Walking Tours on Main Street. On Sunday, September 15th, Tracy Allen with Allen Services, and helper Mathew Jenkins, spent a few hours cleaning and grooming the Goldberg and Joseph Heritage Park in preparation for this event. 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 partnered with the High School Drama Club. The students spoke on the buildings while in costume. Maryellen Mooney, as well as George Kennedy, spoke on the buildings as well.
