FROM THE OLD RECORDS

“I went in for a tattoo and came out with a story. I suspect that’s how the witch likes it.”

– A satisfied traveler, circa 1902

A WORD FROM THE ALMANAC

“Some places leave their mark upon you. Others invite you to choose the mark yourself. The Painted Witch is a little of both.”

- The Tannersville Almanac, 1893
