POSTPONED due to weather: The Lost Town of Garrison’ Book Event

Carnahan Creek Church to Host ‘The Lost Town of Garrison’ Book Event

Calling all Blue Valley history buffs. Do you ever wonder what life was like in the Blue Valley before Tuttle Creek Reservoir was built? … Wonder what if the “Big Dam Foolishness” protestors had swayed President Eisenhower, politicians, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build a dam elsewhere?

Well, author Eric Reynolds has done more than wonder. He has written a time-travel historical fiction novel entitled, “The Lost Town of Garrison.”

The Carnahan-Garrison Cemetery is the portal for Reynold’s time-travel character in the book. And now, Carnahan Creek Church will host a book reading and signing event with Reynolds on Saturday afternoon, April 27 from 2-4pm.

Desendants and former residents of the Garrison, Carnahan Creek and other lost Blue Valley communities, as well as anyone wanting to explore history, are invited to this event. We welcome any photos, stories, or mementos of Garrison, Carnahan Creek, and the Blue Valley that participants can bring and share.

We can’t change history, but we can honor and repeat the stories of this once treasured place in time.
