History Talk, "Interurbans: The Electric Way"
Join Broomfield Depot Museum supporters for two talks by noted railroad historian Dr. H. Roger Grant. Grant will present "The Living in Depot: A Community's Front Door" at 1:00 p.m. and "Interurbans: The Electric Way" at 7:00 p.m. Each talk requires a ticket.
Electric trains are not a recent phenomenon. Come to the 7:00 p.m. talk to hear the fascinating history about the Interurbans, electric passenger railways that ran between cities and towns. You'll learn about the Denver & Interurban, the commuter line known as the Kite Route that ran between Denver and Boulder from 1908 until 1926.
By attending you will be helping preserve history. All proceeds from the lectures will go to the Broomfield Depot Museum Friends' preservation fund to support the restoration of the Broomfield Depot.
You can visit the depot that day. The museum, located at 2201 West 10th Avenue in Zangs Spur Park, will be open from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
About the speaker: 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.
