Kasson-Mantorville School District unveiled its latest immersive career event tailored for elementary students on May 7, this time focusing on the realms of science and health, according to a press release distributed by the district.

This house was moved in September 1983 to make room for the new Kasson State Bank Drive-up facility being built on South Mantorville Avenue. The house was moved to an empty lot behind the Kasson Motor Mart on the west side of Mantorville Ave. Several years later, the drive-up building was moved north across the street and the bank built a new facility but still maintained the main bank on 203 West Main Street.
