Living history event planned in Ringwood

RINGWOOD – Step back in time Thursday and enjoy the twilight ambience of the 1850s Powers-Walker House lit only by candlelight and lamplight.

A McHenry County Conservation District Living History Open House will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Glacial Park, 6201 Harts Road, Ringwood.

People today often think of candlelight as romantic, but in the 1850s it was necessary to get the evening’s chores done.
