Event details are available by visiting JCPRD.com/182/Mildale-Fall-Farm-Fest. The annual Lanesfield School Fall Open House begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. and is only about a 5 minute drive from Mildale Farm. The Lanesfield Historic Site is located at 18745 S. Dillie Rd., Edgerton.

Attendees are invited to celebrate autumn 1904-style while they experience life as a student in a one-room schoolhouse built in 1869. The school is the last remaining building of the bygone community of Lanesfield founded in 1858.

The open house offers old-fashioned fun with hands-on activities, the Missouri Town Band, outdoor games and lessons in the schoolhouse with costumed teachers.
