Wilhems

The Mayhews are one of the founding families of Montours City and have assisted in the town's expansion thanks to their flooring factory near the river.

Halle

Alex Halle rode into Montours City on his motorbike one day and now keeps to himself in a boxcar near the derelict train station past the cornfields.

Carpenter

The gabled house on Peachtree Lane is where sixteen-year-old Lilac Sophia Carpenter spends most of her early teenage years, daydreaming her future as life continues on around her. While Nathan Emery is no longer seen crossing the yard between their houses, you’ll find Montours City’s very own Dr. Wilhems stopping by for frequent visits. Send your well wishes to Lilac in LILAC IN WINTER!

Emery

The Emery’s moved to Montours City when their son, Nathan, was still young, through there seem to be some former ties to the town that have yet to be uncovered. Recently moved in with his older sister across the river, Nathan's appearance is missed on Peachtree Lane. Get to know Nathan in LILAC IN WINTER!

Lenelli

The owners of 865 Cherry Hill Road recently unearthed a time capsule belonging to their teenage daughter, Amelia Lenelli, documenting her existence by sharing her experiences in the aftermath of worldwide tragedy and her own personal struggles with chronic illness. The letters are now housed in the Mayhew Museum. Read Lia's letters in THE LAST LETTER!

Engle

You’ll find neighborhood families gathering at the Engle’s Fourth of July barbecue, including long-time family friends, the Lenelli’s! Be sure to sneak a hot dog to their golden retriever, Ginger, and catch up with their son, Josh, before he leaves for college. Don’t forget to try one of Mr. Engle’s cheeseburgers—we hear they’re the best in town. Join the festivities in THE LAST LETTER!

Summer

The town of Montours City adores the Summer family! Wise beyond her years, you can find twelve-year-old Annie on Applewood Road, trying to hold onto memories and navigate the sometimes-confusing days of her youth. Join Annie on her summer adventures in GOLD IN THE DAYS OF SUMMER!

Bartlett

Three young boys can be a handful, just ask anyone in town! But the Bartlett boys are good-natured and have a fondness for playing baseball at the park on Hastings Road. Housed on Applewood Road, down the block from the Summers, the middle Bartlett boy seems to have a budding romance with young Annie. Say hello to Connor in GOLD IN THE DAYS OF SUMMER!

Rosenberg

The Rosenbergs have known the Summers for years, thanks to their daughter Ava's friendship with Annie. The two can often be found riding their bikes or panning for gold in the creek beyond the Martin farm, though it seems their days spent together might fade as quickly as summer. Become friends with Ava and Annie in GOLD IN THE DAYS OF SUMMER!
