Larkspur Historical Society Poster
Historic Larkspur changing times debuted on July 3, 2009 at the Larkspur second annual Independence Day Celebration. The poster was
designed and produced by the Larkspur Historical Society to portray
the changes to the buildings and geographic contours of the town over
the years, moving from a bustling pioneer community at the dawn of the
twentieth century, through the devastating impact of the 1965 Flood to
its present day, vibrant profile.
The 21 by 28 inch poster, displaying a myriad of historic views can be
purchased for $30.00 by calling: 303.681.3738.
Past Events
D.C. Fair Aug. 5 - 8
It was a very busy weekend with the History
booth at the county fair and the Palmer Lake Chautauqua on August 7.
Danna Hamling and Penny Burdick assisted the Palmer Lake Historical
Society with their third annual celebration of Chautauqua. Penny
Burdick was demonstrating the butter-making process, using her
Grandmother's glass butter churn. This, along with Phyllis
Bonser's pickle preparation process, created large crowds of folks
stopping by to speak with Danna and pick up a set of our new note
cards or an LHS brochure. Larry Schlupp reported, on the
County Fair, saying that the four day event was very successful and
that he received many positive comments from the participants about
the Event Center location instead of the old tent. Bill Noe rounded
out the volunteers from our society to make this another successful
and worthwhile weekend.

May 22, 2010 was the

Town of Larkspur. Many braved the constant winds and helped us
to show off this new feature of the cabin, where information about the
cabin history and other area history will be featured. A big thank-you
to Miriam Kalkwarf, who generously donated the delicious homemade
cookies, which guests as well as hosts greatly appreciated.
Riverside Cemetery Tour, May 17, 2010
"A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering
- always". Thinking of those who have gone before, eleven members of
LHS toured the Riverside Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. The tour was
conducted by Society and Fairmount Heritage Foundation members, Joan
and Garry O'Hara. Please

April 19, 2010, LHS took a tour of the
renovated Greenland Schoolhouse, which is part of Douglas County Open
Space at the Greenland Town site. The schoolhouse was in
service until about 1958 as the school for the Greenland children. In
the near future, the outside of the building will be painted the
original schoolhouse white. (Photos
