Candlelight House Walk

The 2024 Candlelight House Walk, sponsored by the Frankfort Area Historical Society, will be held on Friday evening, December 6, 2024, between the hours of 5:00 and 10:00 PM. Select Frankfort homes will be decorated for the holidays…certain to put us in the mood for Christmas.

As an added highlight, the Frankfort Arts Association will host an “Open House.” Stop by to catch up on all their upcoming exhibits and activities! Warm up for a few minutes at this special stop where light refreshments will be offered. FAHS appreciates the FAA’s support and participation! View the lights and Christmas decorations on your visit to downtown Frankfort!!

CD & ME owners, Chuck JaBaay and Dean Vaundry have invited us to stop in. While here, have a specially priced Holiday Cocktail, view their Winter Wonderland, and listen to some Christmas music.

There will be plenty of time to stop at the museum during your tour to view the exhibits and sample some homemade Christmas cookies. John Clavio, Frankfort Attorney, will again be baking delicious cookies for us along with Enrico’s famous Wassail donated by Harry D’Ercole, Jr. The museum carries unique gift items that would make wonderful Christmas presents: our new Frankfort’s Favorite Christmas Cookies Cookbook featuring recipes by John Clavio and Joanne Warning, note cards, wooden buildings, the 2024 ornament (past years too), our beautiful “Fragments of Frankfort” book, and Images of America – Frankfort, by Rachel Gilmore.
Many shops and restaurants will also be open on Friday evening. Walk along Kansas, Elwood, Old Frankfort Way, Oak, Ash, Nebraska, and White Streets for some Christmas shopping and/or dining.
