About Devil's Gate History Club Devil's Gate History Club provides a forum for those interested in learning more about the history of the Georgetown-Silver Plume area and the relationship of that history to the local culture, economy, and environment, all within the broader context of the development of the Rocky Mountain West. Participants seek to advance understanding of the area's history through research and discussion of historical topics. The club is sponsored by Historic Georgetown, Inc. (HGI), but the club has no formal memberships and no dues - all meetings are open to the public, and anyone interested in the subject is invited to participate, whether or not they are members of HGI. Voluntary donations are accepted at each meeting to help cover expenses. An audio recording is made of each presentation; the tapes and CDs are on file at HGI and may be checked out. Devil's Gate usually meets on the third Friday of each month from September through May, except that no meeting is held in December. Unless otherwise announced, all meetings are held in the Georgetown Community Center, beginning at 7 p.m. The May meeting is a field trip to a nearby place of historic interest. top
