Description

This month's book club hosted by Conifer Historical Society features "Women of the Colorado Gold Rush" where you'll meet the author Julie Bell, have a lively discussion, get your book signed and treat yourself to light refreshments. Purchase your tickets with a book (pickup at the event) or without a book. This event will occur at CHSM's Little White Schoolhouse museum.

Explore the lives of ten unforgettable women who called Colorado home during the turbulent years of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. The unsung heroism, perseverance, hard work, and wisdom of these Native American, Hispanic, Anglo, and African American women helped lay the foundation for the state of Colorado.

J.v.L. Bell has a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Colorado State University and an M.A. from Colorado School of Mines. She loves writing and researching Colorado history, and in 2015 she left engineering and sold her first Colorado historical mystery, The Lucky Hat Mine, to the Hansen Publishing Group. Women of the Colorado Gold Rush Era is her fifth publication. She lives in Westcliffe.

Conifer Historical Society & Museum

Mission

The Mission of the Conifer Historical Society and Museum is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials.

Background Statement

One day, a group of Conifer residents was sitting around the dinner table together and the topic of history came up. "Do you remember who used to live on that house way down on Kuester Road? What about that old Cemetery off Pleasant Park Road? Do you know anything about that?" And so the discussion went, and The Conifer Historical Society and Museum was born. Incorporated in January 2009, we have grown and now call the former Conifer Junction Schoolhouse our home. Our purpose now is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials and provide public access to services, collections, exhibits and a research library.
