Join us as we celebrate the release of Richards book “Ghost Towns In Oklahoma” with a short presentation and book signing! Guests are encouraged to bring their own lunch or enjoy light refreshments provided by BAHM while hearing tales of how some of our state’s, ghost towns came to be, especially in Washington County.
