    Join the Palmer Lake Historical Society for a preview of its latest publication, "Communities of the Palmer Divide." The Historical Society spent almost a year selecting photographs from the archives of the Lucretia Vaile Museum, interviewing longtime residents, and conducting extensive research to prepare this extraordinary look at the beginnings and history of the places we call home - the communities that make up the unique area known as the Palmer Divide.
    Kim Braun will briefly describe the effort by the Historical Society to bring this story to life. She will follow with a slide presentation highlighting vintage photographs from each of the book's chapters accompanied by a brief narrative describing the hardships, frustrations, and triumphs of the early settlers and those that followed. We owe these hardy souls our admiration and gratitude for building the communities where we live today.
    Free refreshments will be provided.
