Jake the Alligator Man: Legends from Marsh's Free Museum

Jake the Alligator Man: Legends from Marsh's Free Museum

We’re bringing back one of our all-time favorite tales for our the Graveyard of the Pacific series: the bizarre legend of Jake the Alligator Man at Marsh’s Free Museum in Long Beach, WA!

Jake, the half-man, half-alligator oddity, has become a Pacific Northwest icon, and we’re diving deep into his mysterious origins, the strange history of gaffs and carnival oddities, and why this grumpy gator continues to capture our imaginations.

Whether you’re a first-time listener or revisiting this wild tale, you won’t want to miss it.
