Learn about the Ghost Towns of the Rockies
Everyone has heard stories of ghost towns; towns long deserted because of unforeseen circumstances and strange occurrences, but not everyone has seen one. Well, Preethi Burkholder has and she is dying to tell you about it.
On November 17, Burkholder will be on hand to talk about the ghost towns that speckle the Wild West at the Carolyn Holmberg Preserve, south on CO-119 to the Denver Boulder Turnpike to Broomfield.
The program is titled Ghost Towns of the Rockies after her book and will delve into the historical background and significance of these towns, pictures and first-hand experience from the author who has been there and researched it all. A book-signing will take place following the event.
