Manatee County Agricultural
Hall of Fame
The Manatee County Agricultural Hall of Fame is the founding collection of the Manatee County Agricultural Museum. In 1967, the Bradenton Kiwanis Farm City Week Committee sought to honor current Manatee County producers who were making significant contributions to agriculture with the title of Outstanding Agriculturist. In the 1980s, the Farm City Week Committee desired to honor historic producers and created the Manatee County Agricultural Hall of Fame inductee award. Today the Hall of Fame has over 100 members with new inductees added yearly. Visit the Manatee County Agricultural Museum to learn more about these incredible men and women.
