(PAOLI) - Plans for the Bicentennial edition of the Orange County Historical Society’s Annual Old Fashion Ice Cream Social are being finalized.
This year's event is set for Sunday, August 28 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the historic Lindley House, located on Willow Creek Road in Paoli.
Planned events include guided historic home tours, ice cream and homemade desserts, live entertainment, heritage activities and more.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted that afternoon to help maintain and preserve the historic Lindley House site.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs as seating on site will be limited.
OCHS President Robert F. Henderson has announced that local or area craftsmen, artists, historians, and skill demonstrations are still being sought for the popular event and invited to set up in and around the front lawn area to demonstrate and sell their wares.
Persons or groups interested in participating should contact him ASAP at 812 653 1212; email rfh2@netsurfusa.net
"We really would like to invite everyone to come out during this Bicentennial year and join us for a fun family event to re-live and share rich memories of the past." He says.
An Orange County 200 History Market area is also being planned that afternoon with various groups being invited to display and sell commemorative type items relating to 200 years of Orange County history.
A number of Lindley family descendants are expected to be in attendance and will be honored guests during the ice cream social.
