Silver City -- Fascination still abounds for the legends and myths surrounding the American West. Early newsprint and dime novels painted elaborate images of outlaws, frontier justice and abundant opportunity for most newcomers. Artists, songwriters and filmmakers continue to mine and cultivate this nostalgia, spurring on adventurers to head "out west."
Award-winning author Johnny D. Boggs will share these myths and legends of the Old West on Saturday, July 15th, as part of the Silver City Museum's community conversation series, presented in collaboration with WILL, the Western Institute of Lifelong Learning. This free event takes place from 11 am to 12:30 pm at the historic Silco Theater, 311 N. Bullard Street in Silver City, and will be moderated by Wendy Spurgeon, the museum's youth and families program manager. For more information, please contact her at (575) 597-5722 or education@silvercitymuseum.org .
