WILLOW STREET (Lancaster
Co.) How did the first settlers
in Lancaster County celebrate
Christmas? Christian Herr’s fami
ly certainly did not do so by hit
ting the nearest shopping mall. For
one thing, that would have been
inconsistent with their non-con

other. there was no shopping mall
in the “howling Conestoga wilder
ness" of 1710.
Christmas Candlelight Tours at
the Hans Herr House represent the
holidays as they would have been
observed when the area now
known as Lancaster County was
first settled over 270 years ago.
The tours will be held Friday and
Saturday evenings, December 3
and 4. Hours for Christmas Can
dlelight Tours will be S p.m. to
8:30 p.m. both evenings.
Each room of the 1719 Hen-
House will feature a demonstra
tion of a colonial period winter
time activity, like flax processing
to make linen, packing the immi
gration trunk for moving from the

one-on-one relationships has been
truly impressive, according to
Miller. The rate of Compeer
clients who need to return to a

rate for people wha don’t have a

become homeless, he said.
