INFORMATION ON POSITIVELY PEARL STREET: A CHRONICLE OF THE CENTER OF BOULDER, COLORADO 1859 TO PRESENT PRESENTATION

Boulder began like any other typical western frontier town, but even before the dust settled its residents called their city the “Athens of the West.”

Its educational, cultural, and health resources––combined with a magnificent mountain backdrop––shaped Boulder into the city we know today.With a focus on the area between 8th and 21st streets, you too will view, firsthand, the changes in transportation, events and activities, and art and architecture, as Pearl Street evolved from mud to mall.

A lively look at the years:
