Historic photos sought for project about Stagecoach
Local historian Arianthe Stettner and writer Jennie Lay are working on a project about the history of Stagecoach. The subject area is limited to the land that includes Stagecoach State Park and the landscapes adjacent to or overlooking the park. They are seeking historic photographs from the area that reflect early people who lived or played around Stagecoach and anything that might be considered of historic significance regarding Stagecoach. If you have historic Stagecoach photographs that you would be willing to share, contact Jennie Lay at jennie.lay@gmail.com or 970-846-9695.
