Join us for a tour of the Julesburg area, where we’ll tour many sites related to Camp Rankin, Fort Sedgwick, 1865 Plains Indian battle sites, and the multiple locations of Old Julesburg. Ray Sumner, PhD candidate at Colorado State University, will be leading the tour of these sites, many of which are the subject of his dissertation. We plan to leave Sterling at 930 in the morning and return at 430 pm. Vans will be provided for guests. The tour is limited to 25 individuals. We will stop at a café in Julesburg for lunch, but lunch is not provided in the tour fee. Fee for the tour is $20 to cover the van rentals.
The post-conference tour is to the Flattop Butte Quarry Site, located northwest of Sterline. Tour members will carpool/caravan in either personal vehicles or our conference vans (transportation will be available in vans for around 25 people) out to the site and then take a short hike to the Butte. The tour is limited to 60 people. The hike is mostly across flat terrain, but there is a short/steep (non-technical) section to get to the top of the Butte (less than 100 feet in elevation gain). Once on top, we will visit several quarry pits concentrations on the top, as well as the location of recent excavations during the past summer. Robert Madden, MA student at Colorado State University, will lead the tour and describe his thesis research at the site. Following the tour, participants can return to Sterling or head home on their own. Given that we will be carpooling and/or riding in vans, there is no charge for the tour.
We want to hear about your research! Consider presenting a paper or poster at this year’s conference.
