longhurst park

This pocket park was built by our program to create a space for community events in our downtown commercial district. Longhurst Park is dedicated to our long-time board president, Bill Longhurst. The venue is owned and operated by Guthrie Main Street and is the location for our Music in the Park, which is a free concert series May through September each year. Longhurst Park is also rented for private events.

downtown beautification

In 2019, Guthrie Main Street board members and community volunteers cleaned the sidewalks, swept and washed down the streets, picked up debris and planted new flowers. We also purchased new planters for Longhurst Park.

abshire building renovation

Guthrie Main Street purchased this building in 2019. The roof has been replaced and all the brick has been repaired around the building. This building is the future home of our Main Street office (in the back of the building) and the front will house start-up space for small businesses.
