In addition to the Eddie Cochran Car Show & Music Festival, the Freeborn County Historical Museum this year will offer a few other events for people to attend.

New this year will be a “A Little Night Music in the Village,” put together for the last Friday in July, August and September.

Entertainers will perform in the historical village outside of the museum, starting at 7:30 p.m. each day and going until about 9 p.m., said Executive Director Stephanie Kibler.

People are invited to bring lawn chairs and sit and enjoy the entertainment. Food trucks will also be on hand for people to purchase food.

Entry cost will be $5 per person.

On Sept. 11, the annual Autumn in the Village is slated to run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., again in the village.

People can enjoy hands-on demonstrations, food and beverages, and likely some live animals to view.

Kibler said the village buildings will be open, and organizers are also planning some interactive games.

“It’s kind of like a little country fair kind of thing,” she said.

There will also be an entry fee for this event.

The museum and village are at 1031 Bridge Ave.
