“Rural HouseWalk” through the Village of Rural is slated for September 22, 2012.
It’s a fun fall event with five or six historic homes open for you to tour. The cemetery where current villagers, dressed in period costume, tell the stories of the founding fathers and mothers of Rural. The Historical Society meeting hall/museum is staffed and homemade hot lunch may be purchased there. These and other activities will make for a delightful day in Rural!
