Events

Join us for our first ever History Harvest at Pioneer Village Museum! We know how special it is to pass our history down to our family, but it’s important to GCHA that we preserve that history in our museums as well so we invite you to bring your letters, photographs, objects and stories to be preserved in our archives. Items will be digitized on site and then you take your history with you!

Saturday June 21st at Pioneer Village Museum
From 10-2pm

For questions or more information contact samantha@grandcountyhistory.org

This engaging presentation will feature historic images, maps, and stories from the “ghost” mining towns of Teller City, Crescent City, Park City, and Tyne —once-thriving mining camps located in Colorado’s remote North Park region. Discover the brief booms, rapid declines, and lasting traces of these communities that played a role in shaping the area’s early mining history.

This program is presented by Ashley Doty. At sixteen, Ashley visited the ghost town of Keota —her first Colorado ghost town—and was captivated by its quiet beauty and the stories held within its abandoned buildings. Since 2016, she and her husband, Nathan, have explored and documented ghost towns, mines, and forgotten homesteads throughout Colorado and the greater plains region—including North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa.
