Community Outreach
Sharing Golden West's history with the public
Thanks to the efforts of Central City Concern, the public can learn about the history of the Golden West through outdoor displays of text, photographs, and an audio kiosk. The audio kiosk allows people to listen to oral histories of neighborhood elders who lived around the Golden West as children.
