History Talk, "The Living in Depot: A Community's Front Door"

A specialist in U.S. history and especially the Populist-Progressive era, Dr. H. Roger Grant is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on transportation history and American railroads. He is on the faculty of Clemson University and currently serves as the president of the Lexington Group, an international non-profit educational organization that concentrates on all aspects of transportation history, particularly railroads.

Following the lecture the museum will be open from 3:00 -5:00 p.m.
The Broomfield Depot Museum is located at 2201 West 10th Avenue in Zangs Spur Park. The historic building is an example of a living-in depot, a depot that included housing for a station agent and his family in addition to providing ticketing and waiting areas for passengers and freight operations.
