The La Plata County Historical Society is partnering with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and Xcel Energy to host a very special fundraising event!

On May 6th two train cars designated as the "Tacoma History Train" will depart on the final Winter Train to Cascade. Participants will depart the train at the historic Tacoma Power House for a rare interior tour of the 1906 working power plant and a walking tour of the Tacoma townsite. Costumed interpreters and historians will interact with guests, providing historical information and stories on the north and southbound routes. Tickets are $65.00, with all proceeds going straight to the Animas Museum. A deluxe boxed lunch is available for an additional $15.00, provided by The Yellow Carrot. For tickets or additional information, please contact the Animas Museum at 970-259-2402 or at animasmuseum@frontier.net. We hope you will join us for this exciting and special event. Reserve your tickets soon- space is limited! With Mother's Day just around the corner (May 8th), this would also be a wonderful way to celebrate with your mom!
