The weekend before Thanksgiving, LaGrange College Site Park is filled with the sights and sounds of an old-fashioned Christmas attracting locals and visitors of all ages to the historic park for the annual Christmas in the Country. Set for Nov. 21-22, 2024, the two-day event transforms the historic village into sites of Christmas past with traditional decorations, entertainment and free family fun. The fundraising event for the park began several years ago as a Christmas open house where natural, hand-made decorations reflecting olden days were on display. Today, the event has turned into much more than an open house and offers a bake sale, arts and crafts, entertainment, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, hayrides and tours of the pioneer village decked out in Christmas past decorations. Guests come early to purchase homemade baked goods for their Thanksgiving table, enjoy hay rides to the old LaGrange Cemetery, make family pictures for their Christmas cards, purchase craft items and talk with Santa. Guests can relive Christmases of the past while touring the park's authentic log buildings, all decorated for Christmas. For more information, contact Louise Lenz 256-702-6953.
