CH150 Celebration at the Clayson House

The Palatine Historical Society is celebrating the Clayson House which turned 150 years old June 17, 2023.

We had a wonderful time at the 30th annual Cemetery Walk at Hillside Cemetery. The rain cleared up just in time and we enjoyed meeting lots of people and telling the stories of Palatine people of the past.
