[December 05, 2016]   For the second year, a number of Logan County churches located in the eastern region of the county will participate in a “Country Church Christmas Tour.”

The tours held last year were very well received, with a number of visitor taking the opportunity to take a peak inside some of the areas older churches. With such a good response, organizers decided to hold the event this year, and added three new churches on top of those that participated last year.

The participating churches will be decorated for Christmas. For guests it will be an opportunity not only to view some lovely decorations, but also see the beauty of the old time country church. Organizer Debbie Moore noted that some of these churches are over 100 years old, with some extraordinarily beautiful windows.


Refreshments will also be offered at each stop, as well as an chance to speak with folks who are a part of the church, and learn more about the congregation and church history.

The tours are self-guided, and will take place on Thursday, December 8th, and Friday, December 9th, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
