One of the most enjoyable activities of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Historical
Society is their annual convention. Narrow gauge enthusiasts from as far away as
England have attended these gatherings.
Sites for these gatherings alternate from
year to year to cover practically every mile of the narrow gauge trackage of the
Colorado & Southern. Sites alternate between Bailey, Buena Vista, Fairplay, Gunnison, Idaho Springs and
Leadville. Although we generally return to the same location every seven years, there
is always something new to see. No matter how often we walk or ride a given section
of this historic line, something new can be found.
2009 will see the Convention return to the Buena Vista area. The Arkansas River valley once hosted three different railroads. Join us to explore much of the roadbed of our favorite line. There is always a model contest specializing
in items from the South Park lines.
Watch for details of the 2009 convention, registration form and motel list for the convention and join in the fun.
Enjoy some photographs from earlier conventions.
