Historic site features 1904 holiday
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, old-fashioned Christmas circa 1904 at its Christmas Concert celebration from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14.
The free program includes letter-writing to Santa with participants practicing their penmanship using the old-fashioned pen and inkwell.
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 will be available in the visitor center, and the gift shop will be open for purchasing stocking stuffers.
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 as a department of the Johnson County Park and Recreation District.
