Visit The Beacon-News to read Denise Crosby’s article about a historic day at the Tanner House Museum: the wedding of long-time Aurora Historical Society Executive Director, John Jaros to Kathy Olson.

After working for the Aurora Historical Society for nearly four decades, it’s about time its executive director made a little history himself.

On Saturday, John Jaros married his sweetheart at the William Tanner House Museum on the corner of Oak and Cedar streets, the first time since 1882 a wedding was held in the beautifully-restored Italianate-style home of one of Aurora’s first and most prominent merchants.
