This Saturday, June 4th, we're super-excited to welcome popular regional author Jim Baumgratz! 

So far, Jim has written 5 books that collect true stories of murders and mysterious deaths from McKean and Elk Counties, as well as the Pennsylvania Wilds! Right now, there's one book on McKean County, three volumes covering Elk County, and one book on the PA Wilds (Warren, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Elk, Cameron, Forest, Clarion, Jefferson, Clearfield, Lycoming, Clinton, and parts of Centre Counties). Jim is busily gathering more stories for future volumes focusing on these areas.

If you or someone you love is a local history buff, or has an interest in true crime or creepy stories, this event is the perfect time to buy a unique gift, share your stories, or ask your questions.

These books are mainly available from the author or at select area stores that carry them (like us!). Since we started carrying Jim's books late last year, we are constantly selling through and writing him to ask for more!
