A series of free weekly lectures on Wednesdays this fall by scholars, writers, storytellers, and experts of Telluride's history. Hosted by the Telluride Historical Museum and located at the Madeline Hotel. This first fireside chat features Telluride Historical Museum board member and Telluride native, Fred Blackburn, as he presents newly discovered photographs and archival sources that investigate local family history and the “explosive” little known history of Blue Lake.
