TOY TRACTORS WILL BE FEATURED

The Oliver House, located at 224 East Adams in Jackson, will be open to the public for guided tours from 1-4:30 p.m., today.

The home has been decorated for a traditional Victorian Christmas. A collection of toy tractors and implements and combines, owned by Eric and Curtis Sievers, sons of Marilyn and Lonnie Sievers, will be featured today. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children. The display will highlight 140 1/16 scale and 40 1/16 scale items, which have been collected since the Sievers children were very young.

The Oliver House is a pre-Civil War brick Federal style home which has been restored and furnished by the Jackson Heritage Association to represent the late Victorian era when the family of State Senator Robert Burett Oliver and Marie Watkins Oliver lived in the home.
