New, gently used & out-of-print books for readers of all ages.


Friday November 15, 2019

Join us on Friday, November 15th at 7:00 for a reading by Niwot historian Anne Dyni, author f Niwot, Colorado: Birth of a Railroad Town and Around Niwot. The presentation will be followed by an author reception.
       
When the Colorado Central laid down tracks that hauled the freight of settlement along the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills, Niwot became Boulder County's first railroad town. Historian Anne Quinby Dyni has mined this charming community's heritage for over a decade, fetching forgotten stories for a new generation in her "Yesterday's News" column. Oral histories, diaries and early newspaper accounts of the past century bring to life more than seventy of her favorites--St. Vrain Valley pioneers, 1940s lost wedding traditions, the origin of "Gunbarrel" and many more.
