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,” so be sure 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 vour visit to downtown Frankfort!!
CD & ME owners, Chuck JaBaay and Dean Vaudry (see Map) 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 and Village Trustee, 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 2022 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.

The Holiday Season is almost upon us once again. Many of us look forward to spending time with family and friends. We look forward to celebrating the traditions we have started and take part in during this time. One of those traditions is the Annual Frankfort Area Historical Society’s Candlelight House Walk.
This year will be the 40th Annual Candlelight House Walk and will be held on Friday, December 3, 2021. The House Walk is the biggest fundraiser the museum has. The proceeds help offer scholarships, continue preservation and children’s projects, the Frankfort Library’s annual subscription to Ancestry.com, genealogy, museum expenses, and research. We are very excited to host the House Walk this year. ‘
There will be certain COVID protocols for the House Walk which we will be providing when we get closer to the actual date.
Tickets will be available in November.
