Grand Junction Centennial Celebration Radio History Theater: A Memorial of Rim Rock Drive

Description

To mark the centennial celebration of the town of Grand Junction, Colorado in 1981, the Mesa County Oral History Project wrote and recorded several radio plays about local history. Beginning on September 26, 1981, local radio stations KSTR, KREX-AM, KREX-FM, and KMSA broadcast the plays. Authors of the plays used interviews recorded by the Mesa County Oral History Project as inspiration. This archival recording contains the play Rimrock Road: A Memorial, about the construction of the main road over the Colorado National Monument. This recording is made available via signed release by the Mesa County Oral History Project, a collaboration of Mesa County Libraries and the Museums of Western Colorado. It was produced with the support of the Colorado Humanities Program, Boulder, Colorado, a state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional funding was provided by the Grand Junction Lion’s Club and by Mrs. Josephine Biggs.
