Although it no longer exists, Sag Bridge was a thriving 19th century canal town, its land now a part of present-day Lemont. Pat Camalliere, author of the popular historical mystery novel, The Mystery at Sag Bridge, will talk about how the background of Sag Bridge was used in the story, describing the town as it once was, including turn of the century transportation and ghost stories. The program will include short readings and take place at the Lemont Area Historical Society, where part of the novel takes place. Participants will tour the Old Stone Church. Light refreshments will be served. Registration required. (Lemont Public Library website, part of Good Reads Program) |
