Lennon Gross & Christine Rai

Haunted Histories of the Ag Reserve

April 20 | 6 - 8 pm

In this session of Storytellers at Riverworks co-authors Lennon Gross and Christine Rai chat about their in-progress book project documenting Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve’s spooky side and share a few of the tales they’ve gleaned. Residents and visitors report mysterious experiences in its wild woods, historic buildings, old cemeteries, and open vistas. It seems the serenity and solitude here allow people to perceive the strange and unusual more easily. These Ag Reserve mysteries and legends are being collected in a book by co-authors with personal connections to it and a passion for preserving history and exploring the unknown. Their book will be not only a collection of local folklore and legends, but will also capture the rich history and unique beauty of Montgomery County & western Ag Reserve. The stories are being gleaned and developed from site visits, interviews, and primary and secondary sources. The book can be enjoyed no matter your stance on the supernatural, whether stories to ignite your imagination about the unknown or simply inspiration for exploring the history and beauty of this area.
