What does Lombard have to do with the story of the Unabomber?

Join us for a special virtual program with Jamie Gehring, author of Madman in the Woods: Life Next Door to the Unabomber. Published in 2022, this true-crime memoir details Gehring’s chilling childhood growing up next door to domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski in Lincoln, Montana.

Kaczynski also has a surprising connection to Lombard, he spent a short time living at his parents’ home here in 1978. Discover this little-known piece of Lombard history while hearing firsthand from the author who experienced life next door to Kaczynski.

Whether you’ve read the book or are simply fascinated by true crime and local history, this is an opportunity to hear a remarkable story directly from the person who lived it.

Please register in advance to attend. The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants the day before the program.
