Tom Wadsworth returns to Lost Lake on November 16, 2025. Dr. Tom Wadsworth will bring us his new presentation, “The 1946 Kidnapping of Della Stackhouse.“

The fascinating 1946 story of a doctor‘s wife who was kidnapped in Dixon provides a unique snapshot of how local life was different in 1946 and how local communities banded together in trying times.
