The Summer Speaker Series starts off on Thursday Sept 4th at 6:30pm! Terri Helm will be the featured speaker in the presentation HerStory. The goal of HerStory is to highlight the very important role played by women in history. Women have accomplished amazing things and by including their stories we balance their contribution to “history”. Terri will portray Betty Pellet who lived in Rico, CO for 50 years of her life and revitalized the mining industry in Rico with her husband. Betty served in the state legislature for 18 years starting in 1940. Terri has a major connection the Crested Butte since her father owned the Grubstake from around 1964 to 1971. Join us in welcoming Terri Helm back to Crested Butte and enjoy an evening of Colorado history. The Museum's Speaker Series are open to the entire community. A $5 donation is suggested and there will be a cash bar.
