Plan Christmas Program Historical Society Change Museum Holiday Tours The McHenry County Historical society, at its last board of directors meeting, decided to change the visiting hours over the Christmas and New Year holidays. The museum will not be open the Sundays preceding and folliwng both Christmas day and New Year's day. Beginning Sunday. Dec. 5, and until Spring, the Sunday visiting hours will move up one- half hour and the museum will be open from 1:30 to 4 p.m. There's no Wednesday opening. The society is making a study of the cost of the heat and donations are not expected. Donated items are coming in every week and the society is looking for showcases. Anyone lighting it takes to onen on visitng days, as heat is not kept on in the big Eckert hall, or in the upstairs rooms unless open to the public. It is hoped the donations on these days will cover such cost, but when groups of children visit.
