The Christian County Historical Society stays busy when the weather allows for it.  Despite the searing heat, they are in the midst of their summer concert series, with performances continuing over the next several weeks.  The organization is also celebrating the success of their Earth Day celebration in April.  These events and many others come thanks to the CCHS’s volunteers and members, and they are hoping to boost these numbers. 

The Taylorville Municipal Band completed its first performance of the summer there this week and has five more coming up.  Jodi Heberling, Co-President of the CCHS, says these shows encompass a variety of genres. 

The Historical Society held its Earth Day celebration last April.  They combined good weather and meaningful causes to produce high turnout. 

The organization is always looking for new volunteers and members.  As generations directly familiar with the county’s history move on, finding the next group of people to get involved has proved difficult. 

Donations go a long way as well.  Heberling says even items you might not think of donating can make a big difference. 

During the warm weather months, the Christian County Historical Society is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  More information is available at www.christiancountyhistorical.com and on their Facebook page.
