Historian and Storyteller Will Share "West Side Stories" from Rocky Mountain National Park

RMNPHC
The Harbison Ranch, on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, was built by historian and storyteller Dave Lively's ancestors about 100 years ago.

People have been living in and around Rocky Mountain National Park for over 11,000 years. About 100 years ago, historian and storyteller Dave Lively’s family set up a homestead near the Grand Lake entrance on the west side of the park. To talk about that homestead and further history of the park, Mr. Lively will make a visit to the Cortez Public Library this Friday, July 21st at 10 am to give a presentation called “Rocky’s West Side Stories.” He joined to KSJD’s Gail Binkly to share more of his own stories as well as some stories from the park.
