Join Tom “Dr. Colorado” Noel July 26th through July 28th for an eye-opening tour of old Spanish Colorado. On Friday morning our bus will depart for La Veta, a hideaway little mountain art colony. After lunch in La Veta, we will board the Rio Grande Scenic R.R. for a trip to Fort Garland for a tour and dinner.  We overnight in Alamosa.

Join Tom "Dr. Colorado" Noel September 6th through September 8th for a tour of the wineries distinguishing Paonia as one of two American Viticultural Association areas in the state. Nestled at the food of the West Elk Mountains, we'll sample some of the fine wines produced by the area's mild growing season, perfect for central European grape varieties, such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir (Reservations Required).

 Join Tom “Dr. Colorado” Noel, Arch-druid Dennis Gallagher, historian Annette Student and a host of ghosts as they guide you through Colorado’s pioneer  necropolis.

John Evans, strangled Market Street prostitutes, Aunt Clara Brown (Jasmine Armstrong), Augusta Tabor (Kim Field), Marie Contassot (Katy Ordway), Adolph Zang (Chuck Handson), the Countess Katrina Murat (Debra Faulkner), Potato Clark (Carl Sandburg), D.C.
