The Christian County Historical Society is working to plan and promote multiple events in the early spring.  Their annual Earth Day celebration highlights the plans and is expected to feature many of the same fun activities as before.  They also have a fundraiser later this month, which will help them finance their busy schedule in the warmer months to come. 

The fundraiser is their annual drive-through chicken and noodles dinner.  It’s scheduled for Sunday, February 22 from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. or when the food runs out.  Jodi Heberling, Christian County Historical Society co-president, says this is typically one of their biggest fundraisers of the year.  Proceeds help cover their operating costs.

Every spring, the Historical Society hosts a “cleanup day” to help prepare the grounds for future events and general visitors.  This year’s cleanup day will take place on Saturday, April 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The first major community event thereafter is the Earth Day celebration.  It will happen on Sunday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Historical Society will continue to host school tours as well.  They had a number of schools visit, with their own staff and volunteers on hand to educate the students about the various exhibits.

The organization is always accepting volunteers.  Those interested in volunteering or learning more about doing so can visit the Historical Society at 1791 Morrison Drive in Taylorville or email ccgs28@gmail.com.
