DSP&P Historical Society Conventions

One of the most enjoyable activities of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Historical Society is their annual convention. Narrow gauge enthusiasts from as far away as England have attended these gatherings.

Sites for these gatherings alternate from year to year to cover practically every mile of the narrow gauge trackage of the Colorado & Southern. Sites alternate between Bailey, Buena Vista, Fairplay, Gunnison, Idaho Springs and Leadville. Although we generally return to the same location every seven years, there is always something new to see. No matter how often we walk or ride a given section of this historic line, something new can be found.

2010 will see the Convention in the Breckenridge - Frisco - Dillon area for the first time. The Dillon Reservoir now covers a good portion of the line as it made its way from Boreas Pass to Kokomo and Leadville.  However, there is still much to be seen including an original narrow gauge rotary snow plow. Join us to explore much of the roadbed of our favorite line. There is always a model show 'n tell specializing in items from the South Park lines.
