'Wild Women Of The West' Talk In Broomfield

BROOMFIELD, CO – Molly Brown was just the beginning. Denver's history is filled with the stories of unconventional women who made history–and their fortunes– in the wild West.

Hear about some of them Wednesday at a presentation by Tom "Dr. Colorado" Noel and public historian and museum professional Jacqui Ainlay-Conley at Broomfield Auditorium.

Tales will range from groundbreaking medical pioneer Dr. Florence Sabin to ladies of the evening, such as Denver madams Mattie Silks and Jenny Rogers. Ainlay-Conley will also shed light on some of Broomfield's most rollicking women.

The event is a fundraiser for the Broomfield Depot Museum Friends and is being held in the Broomfield Auditorium, 3 Community Park Rd. at 7 p.m.

A $10 donation at the door would be appreciated, organizers said.

This is the seventh program in the 2018 Broomfield Depot Museum-Broomfield Depot Museum Friends' Local History Comes Alive! speaker series. This year's theme is "We are Broomfield." All talks are on the second Wednesday of the month.
