The Crystal Lake Historical
Society will present Dearly Departed: The Mystery of the Body in the Lake at
the Colonel Palmer House on October 19 and 20. Tickets must be purchased
in advance by phoning (815) 455-1151 or online at www.cl-hs.org.
Colonel Palmer House is located at 660 East Terra Cotta Avenue (Route 176) in
Crystal Lake.
The
script was written by Sandy Price and is based on factual newspaper accounts
detailing a major mystery in the 1920's that gave the local townspeople plenty
to speculate about. A body was found floating in Crystal Lake!! How
did it get there? Who was the victim? Was a crime committed? It was during
this time of prohibition that the underworld, corruption, and sale of bootleg
alcohol became part of our residents' lives--even in McHenry County. Become
part of the story as you move through the historic home and meet with early
20th century residents as they reveal the facts of the matter.
Diana Kenny, President of
the Crystal Lake Historical Society states, “We are encouraging people to
purchase their tickets immediately. This popular event has sold out the
last two years!”
The performances are
scheduled to start every 15 minutes from 6PM-8PM both evenings. Each
performances lasts about 45 minutes. Tickets are $8 for adults and
$5 for seniors (65+) and children under 12.
