The Legendary Ladies performing this evening include:
Josie Bassett – Homesteader, Rancher and Rustler 1874-1964
Notorious, generous, strong-willed and loveable—mix those qualities together and you’ve got Josie Bassett,
moonshiner, rustler, and homesteader who lived the simple life despite world changes around her. Delightful. 1920’s Western Costume
Lola Montez – Actress and Dancer 1818-1862
Flamboyant dancer and actress, Lola Montez enjoyed worldwide fame while critics alternately praised and railed against her.
Wildly adored by the American public, she reached her height of popularity in California during the gold rush years. Lively and entertaining.
Inductee in Theater Hall of Fame. Victorian Costume
Anne Evans- 1871-1941 Cultural Pioneer
Born in Colorado, Anne Evans helped to transform Denver into a “City Beautiful”.
She was influential in the founding the Denver Art Museum, Denver Public Library and restoration of the Central City Opera House.
She worked for the recognition of American Indian art, especially in the Southwest. Fascinating.
Inductee in Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame and Colorado Business Hall of Fame. 1930’s Costume
