The Montrose County Historical Society will be presenting a program by

celebrated local author, Elaine Hale Jones.

 

Ms. Jones will be discussing her most recent publication "LANDSCAPES LOST; Pioneering Ventures into Uncharted Waters, The Gunnison Tunnel Story." This book focuses on the construction of the Gunnison Tunnel and the communities of Lujane (West Portal) and River (East Portal) that were built to house workers and their families. Ms. Jones will share stories and photographs from her family's involvement in this historic project.

 

Copies of LANDSCAPES LOST will be available for purchase at the event.  

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: CHANGE OF VENUE!

This presentation will be on Wednesday, April 1st at 7:00pm in the

Pioneer Room at Friendship Hall on the Montrose County Fairgrounds. 

Please use the smaller door to the left of the main doors. It will be open at 6:30.

​​

As always, the program is free to attend and open to the public.
