The History Club for local 3rd-5th graders is being set up again at the Florence Pioneer Museum and Research Center. Registration for the Club begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 10 and will be open through the month of September. The Club will be capped at 10 members. Registration papers can be downloaded from the Museum’s website at https://ift.tt/2nhA0pB.
The Club will meet every Friday from 10-11 a.m. to learn about the history of Eastern Fremont County and Florence. Cost is $25 for the year, September-May, or $1 every week. Monies collected will go toward buying supplies for the History Club’s crafts.
The History Club will follow the Florence/Penrose school district’s calendar. When RE-2 is on vacation, so is the Club.
The first unit of study will be the local Native Americans that lived in the area: the Ute Indians. Join The Club for some fun and crafts … and your child just might learn something about Eastern Fremont County.
Tour de Coal Towns Cycles Again
The Florence Pioneer Museum and Research Center is presenting the eighth annual “Tour de Coal Towns” on Sept. 11. The bike tour/fun run will weave through the coal towns west of Florence.
Registration and release papers can be picked up at the museum, 100 E. Front St. in Florence, downloaded at the museum’s website https://ift.tt/2nhA0pB, at the Pour House and Loralie Antiques in Florence or at Red Canon Bikes and Cañon City Brews and Bikes in Cañon City.
Adults are $15, children under 12 years of age, $5. If you register by Aug. 20, you’ll receive a t-shirt on the day of the bike tour. There will be day-of-tour registration from 8-9 a.m. in front of the museum.
The museum accepts, plastic, checks and cash. Make checks out to “Florence Pioneer Museum” and put “TdeCT” in the memo line. This fundraiser covers the museum’s insurance for the year.
The Tour will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a police escort out of Florence. Riders and runners will then move to stops in Coal Creek, Rockvale, Williamsburg and back to Pioneer Park in Florence for a lunch sponsored by LaFarge/Holcim. Along the way, there will be a poker run played and the best hand at lunch wins a cash prize.
At each Tour stop, there will be water, a bathroom and historic information about each town. This year the museum has another special surprise for participants.
‘Tour de Coal Towns’ with Your Horse
While the Florence Pioneer Museum and Research Center’s TdeCT is usually done with bikes and feet, last year there were folks who did the tour on their horses. Organizers learned that horses need a head start.
The Tour is about 9 miles round trip through the coal towns west of Florence. If you are interested in using your horse, the museum is very open to that mode of travel. Registration and release papers can be found on the museum’s website, https://ift.tt/2nhA0pB. The cost on horseback will be the same as bikers and runners: $15 for adults, children under 12 years of age $5. Some details are needed to make sure horses and their riders come in for the 11:30 lunch at Pioneer Park.
