Landmark Lectures - The History and Legacy of the High Line Canal
Explore the origins, development and evolution of the High Line Canal with historian Rachel Stenz as we explore this channel through time.
Built to bring water to the arid plains of Colorado in the late 19th century, the High Line Canal has transformed from an irrigation system to a cherished recreational and cultural landmark. Through historic photos, community stories, and existing historic sites along the canal, this evening will trace how the High Line Canal shaped local communities and continues to connect people across generations.
- Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with self-guided tours of the 27,000-square-foot Highlands Ranch Mansion available. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
- A cash bar will be available with beer and wine.
- Light appetizers are included with each ticket.
