Events
In 2026, the United States will commemorate it's 250th birthday and Colorado it's 150th year of statehood and Douglas County will be joining History Colorado in celebrating these dual anniversaries. The county and, more specifically, the Roxborough Area Historical Society will also be marking this milestone with our own historical programs starting in November 2025. Look for the Am250CO150 logo across the county for these programs and events. Check out the website at www.Am250CO150.org for more information about all of the events taking place across our state.

June Event
"Travel Back In Time on the Silica Branch of the Colorado & Southern Railway" |
|
On June 17 2026, RAHS and community members attended
a walking and driving tour which traced the Silica Branch
of the Colorado & Southern Railway from the site
of the town of Silica to the Waterton Canyon station.
They heard stories of its construction, saw what remains
of the line, learned about the people and places
along its route, and traced its daily journey.
The tour started at the Silica site behind the fire station
and made 3 additional stops including
the location of the Frauenhoff and Bolton Quarry spurs,
the Vincent spur, and the Waterton Depot.
