Summary: Participate in a turn of the century holiday celebration


The Oxford School docents will host "Holiday Traditions on the Prairie at the Historic Oxford Schoolhouse" on Saturday, December 5th from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The historic one-room Oxford School is located in Ironwoods Park at 147th & Mission Road, Leawood, KS.
