This event will put you in the Christmas spirit!

Don’t miss a local holiday favorite, the Gingerbread Extravaganza at Jacksonville Historical Society’s Old St. Andrews.  With a grand opening on Tuesday November 29, it’s open every day through December 22, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except Sundays. A small  entry  donation is suggested:  $3 per child and $5 for adults, with proceeds going to the Jacksonville Historical Society. 

This year's Extravaganza features over 30 amazing Gingerbread houses and wild creations by local chefs and everyday citizens in the historic St. Andrews!


Next door to Old St. Andrews and the Extravaganza, tour the Historical Society’s Victorian Merrill Museum House 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., a walk through life in Jacksonville 100 years ago.  This award-winning museum house is “dressed” for the holidays and ready to showcase the city’s turn-of-the-century history. 

Also watch the free movie “Jacksonville  Past” shown in the historic church St. Andrews.
