Teachers and other interested adults can join the Western Museum of Mining & Industry on April 12, 2008, from 8:30 to 5:30 for a fascinating day exploring Colorado’s mining heritage! Participants will learn about historic mining and milling (including a one of a kind virtual tour of the Ghost Town of Gillman and the associated Eagle Mine!), explore modern mining methods, environmental considerations, and become familiar with available mining educational resources. The course teacher is Geologist, Steven Veatch whose research has focused on paleontology, Colorado geology, and Quaternary geology. Steve is an adjunct professor of Earth science at Emporia State University where he received an MS in Earth science and has published over 100 articles and professional papers on geology and regional history. The course fee of $50 includes all materials and a box lunch ($40 for WMMI Members). For an additional fee of $30, participants may earn 0.5 graduate-level semester credit from the Colorado School of Mines. This credit is optional, but is applicable for teacher license renewal in the State of Colorado and is generally accepted elsewhere. Please contact the Museum for additional information and reservation procedures at 719-488-0880.
