Lanesfield plans Christmas event
The Lanesfield Historic Site, 18745 S. Dillie Road, Edgerton, will deck its halls during the holiday season so Johnson County residents of all ages may experience a traditional 1904, old-fashioned Christmas, and feature a Country Christmas from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9.
The free program includes letter writing to Santa with participants practicing their penmanship using the old-fashioned pen and inkwell. The gift shop can be visited for stocking stuffers.
The Edgerton Rainbow Connection Children’s Choir will perform at 1:30 p.m., followed by a visit from Santa from 1:45 to 3:30 p.m. Crafts and free refreshments available in the visitor center.
The Lanesfield School, a National Historic Site since 1988, features a one-room limestone schoolhouse, the last remaining structure in the bygone town of Lanesfield.
The historic site is operated by the Johnson County Museum, a department of the Johnson County Park and Recreation District. Call 913-715-2570 for more information.
