Christmas in July
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Christmas on the prairie was very sparse. It was a time of family and friends spending time
with each other. Alexander Harkin is of Scottish decent, so we at the Harkin are celebrating
the Scottish Christmas with "goodies". There will be decorations and the gift shop will have
the tree up with items for Christmas.
The store is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 4 pm, with programs on Sunday
afternoons from 1 to 4 pm. Admission to the program is included with admission to the store.
Remember on August 5th, is the 39th Annual West Newton Day, so find your stories and old
pictures of the area and come and share your bit of history with us and our visitors. We will
also post contact information and also do copying for you and us.
The 1870's Harkin Store is located nine miles northwest of New Ulm on Nicollet County Road 21,
or the bottom road, or nine miles east of Fort Ridgely. Nicollet County Road 21 is under
construction so follow the detour signs, or call the store for directions when open at
1-507-354-8666, or Nicollet County Historical Society which operates the store at 1-507-934-2160.
