Members of the Kaufman County Historical Commission are inviting Kaufman County residents to experience an old-fashion Christmas at the historical Kaufman County “Poor Farm” every Saturday until December 21, 2013.
Christmas activities will begin at 2:00 p.m. each Saturday and will end with a tree lighting at dark. Activities include caroling hay rides, children's crafting, and visits with Santa Claus.
“There's something for everyone,” promises Kaufman County Historical Commission Committee Chair Suzie Smith. Admission is also free for everyone.
In 2012, the Kaufman County Poor Farm was listed in the 2012 Texas' Most Endangered List. The list represents historical places that are "almost gone or that represent rare construction types," according to Preservation Texas President Jim Ray. "In each instance, these places are integral to the communities where they are located, yet they are in immediate danger of disappearing from the landscape."
The Poor Farm is located at 3948 South Houston Street, Kaufman, Texas 75142. The entrance to the farm is across from Kaufman High School near State Highway 34 and Farm-to-Market 1388.
Mark your calendars:
