Join the Eagle County Historical Society on Oct. 5 for a unique tour of historical sites on the Diamond S Ranch, located four miles east of Eagle on U.S. Highway 6. This is a private, gated community and the owners have graciously agreed to allow the historical society to offer this one-time tour.
‘A rare opportunity’
“This is a rare opportunity to see historical sites that are not generally available to the public,” said Kathy Heicher, the president of the Eagle County Historical Society.
The event will feature a tour of Jack Oleson’s private museum to view hundreds of artifacts from the early days in Eagle County.
