ABOUT THE RGM&HS
|
|
The Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society (RGM&HS) found in
2001 is an Colorado non-profit corporation whose membership consists
of diverse group of historians, collectors, railfans,
photographers, modelers and railroad employees who have banded
together to share one common interest, the Denver & Rio Grande
Western Railroad and its predecessors. The fellowship created by
this common interest and the opportunity for networking with
members and others are the society's greatest assets. Activities
to promote this fellowship are geared to serve the wide variety of
interests of its members on almost every facet of the D&RGW as it
served as the "Action Road" |
The mission of the Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society
is to preserve and disseminate historical information about the
Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad for the benefit of our
members and to others by locating, gathering, preserving,
interpreting tangible items relating to the D&RGW and distributing
information, documents, publications thus promoting fellowship and
education among persons with interests in the railroad.
The RGM&HS depends heavily upon its
members to provide support for the group through their willingness
to contribute in any way possible. Those with experience in any
phase of publishing, drafting, have knowledge of the operation of
the D&RGW, or have collections of photographs or information are
encouraged to offer their assistance. You can contact us at
Membership@rgmhs.org
