Saline County Historical Society seeking members

The Saline County Historical Society is seeking new and renewed memberships for 2017.

Volunteers have been in the process of making repairs to the buildings with the financial backing of county residents. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. on the museum grounds.

Members and the general public are invited to attend "The Blessing of the County" on Saturday, Dec. 3rd at 6 p.m. with festivities getting underway in the Cain Church. The potbelly stove will supply the heat and oil lamps will brighten the room. There will be an "old-time Christmas" with songs. Later, patrons can walk over to the Aydollette Cabin, where Christmas cookies, hot apple cider, and hot chocolate will be served.

The lighting of the tree will be celebrated at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6 on the museum grounds. Harrisburg Mayor Dale Fowler will officially light the tree. All Saline County mayors are invited to be a part of this outdoor event. Hot chocolate and Christmas cookies will be doled out to all those in attendance.

The Saline County Historical Society is also accessible on Facebook.
