The Saline Area Historical Society presents Christmas at the Rentschler Farm, from 1 to 4 p.m., Dec. 11 and 12. Guests are invited to tour the Rentschler Farm Museum and learn what Christmas would have been like for a German-American farm family in Saline in the 1930s.
This family-friendly event also gives children the chance to visit Santa Claus. There were will be craft demonstrations. Cider and donuts will be served.
The Rentschler Farm Museum is located at 1265 E. Michigan Ave. Guests are required to wear masks with Santa and during tours of the home.
The Rentschler Farm Museum, owned by the City of Saline and operated by the Saline Area Historical Society, interprets regional agriculture and farm life during the 1900-1950 time period. The land was first farmed in 1825; and in 1901, the farmstead was purchased by Emanuel Rentschler. The Rentschler family farmed the land until the 1990s.

Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
