Geology/History Walking Tour of Kinney Run with the Stewards of Open Space
Join Donna Anderson and Paul Haseman for a morning geology/history tour of Kinney Run.
Kinney Run Open Space is a gem in Golden’s Open Space inventory. Designated as open space in 1998, it was formally recognized in 2005 as a unique geologic and environmental area in Golden. The walk highlights the geology, mining, and land-use history of the area.
We will meet at Shelton Elementary and walk about 1 mile down the Kinney Run Trail.
Donna and Paul have published an eBook titled Golden Rocks: The Geology & Mining History of Golden, Colorado. Get a copy of the free eBook here.

Golden History Moment
Melodrama enthusiasts here will be able to get a martini and dinner along with their theatre later this summer thanks to the action of the city council last week.
Golden Transcript – May 29, 1973
49 Years Ago
The May 29, 1973 Golden Transcript announced that Heritage Square Opera House had been granted a liquor license. The Opera House, which produced old-fashioned melodramas, was one of the first tenants at Heritage Square, having opened in the spring of 1971.
The melodramas were popular, and the owner decided to construct a new building, specifically designed for dinner-theater. Construction was well underway in late may, and they hoped to open in the new building by mid-summer.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
