MT. VERNON, IL — The Jefferson County Historical Society will host a Candlelight Walk on Saturday from 5-7pm at the Historical Village. You can experience what life was like after dark in a world lit only by fire through candles, campfires, and a blacksmith’s forge.

Dana Uhls is the Community Relations Specialist for the JCHS. She says the Historical Society is trying some new attractions at this particular event.

The JCHS has been forced to cancel many of their events this year including their annual Christmas Model Train Exhibit and Chocolate Festival, due to the pandemic.
