Walk Through A Restored 1880s Railroad Town At This Golden Museum Kids And Grandparents Both Love
Some family outings end with a tired toddler and a grandparent checking the clock. This one tends to end with both of them asking for one more lap around the yard. Tucked at the edge of Golden, a short drive from Denver, sits a rail yard packed with more than 100 vintage trains, a working repair shop, and volunteers who can tell a railroad story better than any textbook.

The plot(s) thicken: local historians release new “Historic Cemeteries of Denver” book
Just before the preface of Denver historians Mark A. Barnhouse and James M. Cavoto Sr.’s new book “Historic Cemeteries of Denver,” there’s a photo of a headstone. It marks the burial place of no one person; instead, the photo marks the cemetery itself — in this case, at the Golden Cemetery, though Barnhouse says it sits in other sites as well. “This is a cemetery,” reads the stone. “Lives are commemorated — deaths are recorded — families are reunited — memories are made tangible and love is undisguised…Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information, and our heritage is thereby enriched.”
