Go deep into a few of the most notorious Grand Valley myths and legends with two of my Palisade pals, LisaMarie Pinder and Corinna Scott. Hear the stories behind the infamous jar of Grand Valley dirt (8:18), the thunderbird on the Mesa (18:51), the vengeful train conductor (26:47), where you can find bits and pieces of historic coal mines (29:58), why Palisade has twin houses (33:50), and where you can find old labor camp cabins around town (37:02).
Are you familiar with these stories? Or maybe you know a slightly different version? Are there other Grand Valley myths and legends that we didn’t cover? If so, I’d love to hear from you at lisa@postcardsfrompalisade.com.
