Join the Superior Historical Commission on May 2 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. starting at Grasso Park (100 E. William St.) for the annual Historic Walk to the Industrial Mine site. This free event will provide a unique opportunity to experience Superior as it was 100 years ago, offering a fresh perspective on the town and its fascinating past. The walk begins at Grasso Park and stops at two key historical sites within Boulder County Open Space. Stand on the site of the original mine shaft, where miners descended 265 feet underground to mine coal, and see the foundations of the miners' humble homes.
Participants should prepare for a walk of at least 2 miles and wear appropriate shoes and clothing for varying terrain and weather. Be sure to bring your own hydration for the journey!
