The dinner/auction is one of the key events the Society sponsors to help raise funds for the preservation of Schmuhl School and ongoing student programs held at the school. Schmuhl is a “working school” where many New Lenox and other schools spend “A Day in the Life of a One Room Schoolhouse”.
Tickets can be purchased in advance from any Historical Society member or at the door. Adults are $20, children under 10 years, $10, and less than 3 years are free. Carry outs will also be available. For tickets and information please call 815-735-8585 or newlenoxhistory@aol.com.
