WHITE CHRISTMAS AT PIONEER VILLAGE

Tony Young, vice president of the White County Historical Society, captured these peaceful scenes of Pioneer Village following a snowfall the week before Christmas 2004.   Pioneer Village is a collection of 19th Century White County buildings that are being restored on Higginson Road in Searcy.  Each Saturday morning, weather permitting, Young and a corps of other volunteers are working at the Village with hopes of reopening the display to the public in coming months.   The Historical Society agreed to take over the Village from the White County Fair Board and move it from the Fairgrounds to the new location two years ago.
