The Mid-Summer Mystery on Puzzle Creek on July 18, 2009, was a big success drawing over 60 attendees to the museum to listen to John McKinsey speaking on his first book, The Lincoln Secret, and visit with all of our event participants.  John stayed throughout the afternoon autographing books and we were also fortunate to have Edith Edwards and Black Pearl Farms participate offering their fine farm produce and goodies.  John is now working on the sequel to The Lincoln Secret.
