The Golden History Museum is presenting a lecture tonight from 6-7:30 on The Denver and Interurban Streetcar.
Explore how the region’s interurban streetcar systems grew up along with Colorado’s young cities, including Denver and Golden. See how the past can repeat, as some of the growth seen along today’s light rail system, is closely paralleled in the growth seen in the early 1900s. The Platte Valley Trolley, a heritage streetcar system that keeps this history alive, is operated by the Denver Tramway Heritage Society. Join a member of the Society to take a look at the past, present, and glimpse into a possible future as they tell the interesting story of how people get around their city.
The Geology Museum’s First Thursday Lecture happens tonight at the Ben Parker Student Center, 1310 Maple Street, Golden, CO (map). The guest speaker will be Dr. M. Stephen Enders, Interim Department Head for Geology and Geological Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines.

The appetizers and socializing at 6; annual meeting at 6:45, and guest lecturer begins at 7.
