Elijah Iles House opens for the season

The Elijah Iles House, Springfield's oldest known residence, opened for the season on Elijah Iles' birthday, March 28.

The house is open for tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm through October.

Your humble blogger has volunteered to serve as a docent at the house twice a month. I'll keep this blog updated with my schedule, in case you would like to visit me there and get my tour of the house, which is heavy on family history.

Go see the official Elijah Iles House blog for good photos of the house and a closer look at Major Iles' birthday events.
