Greetings From the Old West: Colorado Ghost Towns In-Person
Lost mines, abandoned diggings, ghost towns…
The very words conjure enigmatic images of the Old West. And the hotels and saloons that yet stand bear silent testimony to that fabled past ~ when prospectors came to gamble, find and lose a fortune, or die without revealing the location of a rich and elusive mine. Their tales continue to fascinate and intrigue. And even haunt us.
Join us for an evening of multimedia discovery as we explore both famous and little-known legends from beyond Colorado's vanished frontier.
