Afternoon History Talk: Broomfield Power Couples
Tuesday, July 9, 1-2:30 p.m.
When talking about the early history of Broomfield, we often discuss only the male or the female perspective. Tara Templeman, the Museum Supervisor for the Broomfield Depot Museum, will talk instead about the couples who have made Broomfield what it is today. While one partner is often better known in early Broomfield history, we will explore how marriages were partnerships that allowed both spouses to create a more valuable contribution to the community than either could on their own.
