Orange County Historical Society (OCHS) hosted its annual Old-Fashioned Christmas at the Farmhouse in Paoli this past Sunday afternoon. The historic 174-year-old Thomas Elwood Lindley House was decorated in part to reflect a Civil War era Christmas past. Attendees were allowed to informally tour the farmhouse while being treated to period Christmas music performed by the "Wildflowers & Weeds." Museum volunteers served up cookies and cups of hot cider in the farmhouse kitchen to ward off the winter chill. Despite Sunday's light snow and cold the event was well attended with a number of visitors from throughout the area in attendance. Author Roger Moon was also on site with copies of his brand-new book, "Life in Paoli, IND-1947."
