Beautiful scenery, tours of ghost towns that at one time had booming economies, fascinating turn-of-the-century stories of the Colorado gold rush and a voyage over mountains and canyons on a locomotive circa 1880, were a few of the attractions on the Colorado Excursion.

Travelers departed Manhattan, Kan. at 8 a.m. Saturday, July 13, for an eight-day jaunt across the Rocky mountains.

You’re invited to come enjoy pictures and stories about the adventure at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, in the Community Room. Refreshments will be served.
