Spreading of school chronicles in the second half of the 19th century allows collection of information from larger geographic areas.Despite being significantly different in terms of length and nature of records, individual chronicles represent a valuable source of information for researchers. Authors of the chronicles were teachers, through whom we find out more about the lives of school children, troubles of teachers in the 19th century or about disputes accompanying attempts to build own schools in municipalities, but also about municipalities themselves, national and international events and natural disasters.The paper focused on festivities in a social group of the municipality from the perspective of school chronicles as a unique and not quite yet explored source. Thanks to these records, it is possible to rebuild the course of official visits of high state and church representatives, sanctification of buildings or celebrations of Christmas trees, but mainly the position of the school and its involvement in social life. Thanks to the chronological recording, the development of the festive life in the municipality can be observed, and despite the fact that it is primarily a source from the school environment, information recorded in it is of indisputable importance for the creation of a complex view of the culture and life in a municipality in the 19th century.
