Candlelight at Durant-Peterson House and Sholes School

  • Durant House and Sholes School 37W700 Dean Street St. Charles, IL, 60175 United States (map)

At the House: Take a step back in time and enjoy the warm glow of the hearth, music in the parlor, old-fashioned ginger cake, and fragrant evergreens throughout the home. With candles lighting your way, costumed docents will share history as you stroll from room to room. Take in a simpler time and some of our favorite things.

At the School: History says - virtually every one-room school put on a Christmas pageant. So we’re having one this year! Come see how the students and teachers in our one-room school decorated for the event.  Then watch as the teacher directs her students to recite their favorite lessons from the year.

Price: $5 per Adult, $1 per Child

Open from 3 PM to 7 PM
