History in our own backyard
Upcoming Events
RAHS Annual Meeting
Thursday, January 26, 2023
7 p.m. at the Community Center
Join us for an entertaining and informative presentation, as Mike Thomas, Volunteer History Team at Roxborough State Park, describes the colorful lives of the early homesteaders and inhabitants of the southern portions of the Park. Be entertained by the stories of what attracted them to the area, the different mechanisms they used to acquire their land, their lives and culture, some of their claims to brief fame and what has happened to the land since.
Be ready for a fun evening talking about those who dared try to eke out a life at Roxborough.
