The Christian County Historical Society is gearing up for another edition of its summer concert series.  The concerts will take place Wednesdays from June 10 to July 29, each starting at 7 p.m.  The Taylorville Municipal Band will perform at these events, with different songs in the program each night.  The Historical Society will use the July 1 performance to also celebrate the United States’ 250 years of independence.

Jodi Heberling, a co-coordinator with the Christian County Historical Society, is helping organize the concert series.  She says the grounds are well shaded in the evening, which can help visitors feel less overcome by the summer heat. 

The Muni Band plays music from a variety of genres across the season, ensuring there is something for all musical tastes. 

The band’s July 1 performance falls closest to Independence Day, so the Historical Society will offer dinner and cake to attendees as they enjoy the show. 

Heberling says the extra significance of this year’s Independence Day aligns with the work of the Historical Society and so wished to recognize the milestone.

The Christian County Historical Society is now operating under its summer hours of 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.
