The Chloe Ellefson/Historic Sites Mysteries Program & Discussion

Join author Kathleen Ernst to learn how her tenure as an interpreter and curator at Old World Wisconsin led to her adult mysteries, Old World Murder and The Heirloom Murders. Featuring curator Chloe Ellefson, these books celebrate Wisconsin’s historic sites and unique cultural identity. Kathleen’s lively illustrated program will provide a “behind-the-scenes” look at the first two books in the series, and a sneak peek at the forthcoming The Lightkeeper’s Legacy, which is set in Door County. There will be time for discussion, Q&A, and door prizes! Books will be available for anyone who wishes to purchase a personalized copy—including Kathleen’s titles for children and young adults. Sponsored by the Alice Baker Library in Eagle.
