On Friday, June 6, join the Museum for an Evening of Colorado History! Relax, enjoy a beverage, and travel back to a time when railroads were actively shaping the American West.

Get ready for a fascinating topic as historian and New York Times bestselling author Chris Enss brings to life the extraordinary world of women in railroading and stunt performance. In her presentation Daughters of Daring: Women Railroad Heroines, Enss will delve into the stories of courageous women who worked on the rails — from telegraphers and station agents to engineers and brakemen — as well as the trailblazing stuntwomen who captivated audiences with their fearless feats. Discover how these daring ladies defied conventions, broke barriers, and carved out their place in history alongside the railroads that helped build the nation.
