Best Part Of Lagrangeville Erdajt Display - More Than $250,000 To Charity LAGRANGEVILLE, N.Y. - They earned the Guiness Book of World Records title for 'Most lights on a Residential Property' in 2014, and their ERDAJT display - that started in 1995 with just 600 lights - has now become an attraction people travel great distances to view, and is known around the world.
