Ghost Towns: Eastern Colorado by Kenneth Jessen Join the author when he describes his adventures documenting nearly 1,000 abandoned sites.  Jessen will describe the struggle of homesteaders hoping for the return of prosperity, settlers forced out by drought, and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s which was the final blow for many of Coloradoans.  Sites include stage stations, forts, once-thriving towns along cattle trails, agricultural communities and railroad-financed towns.  Be there when he presents the history of the towns described in his recent publication depicting nearly 950 towns on a “sea of grass.”  Program begins at 11:00 a.m. and is free and open to the public.  Ghost Towns: Eastern Colorado and other publications by the author are on sale in the Estes Park Museum Shop.
