Every Archive Contains a Mystery

Ours contained a caramel corn recipe.

From the Archivist’s Desk 

It began with several old trunks. The trunks appear to have followed Mortimer and Martha through 1920s Detroit and considerably farther afield.

Inside were journals, correspondence, recipes, curious objects, and countless unanswered questions.

Each discovery answered one question and raised three more.

One discovery, however, changed everything.

One recipe.

FROM THE PAPERS OF MORTIMER & MARTHA

Wear the spectacles.

Bring the blue notebook.

Do not bring the ferret.
