HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED
Nestled between two bluffs and right off of the Mississippi River, Elsah, IL is a quaint sleepy little village that has been called the Village that time forgot and also New England of the Midwest. Both descriptions are correct but neither do the village justice.
On this day you have a firsthand opportunity to understand its appeal as the Village of Elsah opens its doors for its annual “Home for the Holidays” house tour. A selection of charming homes in the village will be open, and a horse drawn carriage will offer free rides to ticket bearers through the village which has been festively decorated in preparation for the holiday season, and there will be entertainment at various venues. In addition, the Elsah Museum, both Bed and Breakfasts and churches will be open for tours. A fixed price lunch will be provided at Farley’s Music Hall. The lunch is served on a first come, first serve basis.
The Home for the Holidays House Tour is a program event of Historic Elsah Foundation. The Historic Elsah Foundation, incorporated in 1971 as a non-profit organization, has as its purpose the preservation and enhancement of the historic buildings, houses, architecture, and culture of the Village of Elsah, Illinois, through the encouragement of historical research on the Village and other nearby historic areas.
