Saturday, August 10, 2024, 9am
Meet at the Telluride Historical Museum at 9am or the Ophir Town Hall at 9:20am
Join the Telluride Museum and John Wontrobski, Town Manager of Ophir, for a drive and walk through Ophir history. Ophir’s small-town, quirky personality has evolved throughout the decades and is an essential part of San Miguel county history. As our most moderate level “hike” this year, the tour will involve a combination of driving through Old and East Ophir, visiting historic buildings and sites, and a short hike towards National Forest Service boundaries. Preregistration is strongly encouraged. The tour leaves from the museum at 9am and lasts approximately 4 hours. A vehicle is required and carpooling is encouraged. With advance notice there may be options to carpool with museum staff. Participants can plan to meet at the Telluride Museum at 9am or the Ophir Town Hall at 9:20am.
$20 for nonmembers or $15 for museum members.
