The Denver and Interurban Streetcar

Description

Explore how the region’s interurban streetcar systems grew up along with Colorado’s young cities, including Denver and Golden. See how the past can repeat, as some of the growth seen along today’s light rail system, is closely paralleled in the growth seen in the early 1900s. The Platte Valley Trolley, a heritage streetcar system that keeps this history alive, is operated by the Denver Tramway Heritage Society. Join a member of the Society to take a look at the past, present, and glimpse into a possible future as they tell the interesting story of how people get around their city.
