PAOLI—The Orange County Historical Society will once again host an old-fashioned holiday event at the historic Lindley House in Paoli on Sunday, December 1st, from 2 to 4 p.m.
The 174-year-old farmhouse will be decorated downstairs partly to reflect a simple 1860s Christmas past and will be open for informal touring. OCHS President Robert Henderson said volunteers will be on hand to share information about the house and its history. The musical group Wildflowers & Weeds will also perform period music in the front parlor of the house that afternoon.
Hot Cider and cookies will be served in the kitchen area.
No admission will be charged; however, donations will be accepted to help maintain the historic home site.
Guests are asked to enter the house at the front door. Tours on Sunday will be self-guided in part, so visitors may arrive anytime between 2 and 4 p.m. and take as much or as little time as desired to explore the furnished historic house.
The house was the home of Thomas Elwood Lindley, an early Orange County settler, and is located just off State Road 150 West on Willow Creek Road in Paoli.
