PAOLI – The Orange County Historical Society will once again play host to an old-fashioned holiday event at the historic Lindley House in Paoli this coming Sunday, December 3, 2023, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
The nearly 170-year-old farmhouse will be decorated downstairs in part to reflect a simple 1860s Christmas past and will be open for informal touring. Robert Henderson, president of the Orange County Historical Society, said volunteers will be present to share information related to the house.
The musical group “Wildflowers & Weeds” will perform period music in the front parlor of the house that afternoon as well.
The Wildflowers & Weeds Band members, originally from Mitchell, Indiana, have been playing music together since 1983. Randy Hensley on mandolin and guitar and Frank Hodges on banjo provide the high-energy instrumental breaks while Carolyn Hodges on the doghouse bass and Randy King and Dusty Tolbert on guitars complete the sound. The band plays a blend of music genres including traditional bluegrass, new grass, and folk, and has even incorporated old rock classics into their playlist.
Hot Cider and cookies will be served.
