The Walls Talk
Historic House Museums of Colorado

By Patricia Werner



Before her death at the end of 2007, Patricia Werner fulfilled her dream of compiling the traveler's guide to the historic homes of Colorado.  Pat's husband, Jim, and Filter Press are pleased to bring her vision to print with publication of The Walls Talk: Historic House Museums of Colorado.   

The author's criteria for selcting houses were:

  • Must have been a dwelling place.
  • Must now be a museum open to the public.
  • Museum interprets the stories of those who lived there. 

The book, therefore, does not include non-family specific living history museums, regional history museums with changing exhibits, or historic homes accessible only for certain events.

The thirty-seven homes in the book depict a rich tapestry of Colorado's diverse architectural, cultural, political, and economic heritage. More importantly, the homes are the backdrop for stories about the lives of the inhabitants. 

Use this book from a talented and dedicated author as your guide to an interesting and educational tour of Colorado.

The Midnight Ride of Blackwell Station

By Mary Peace Finley



Nine-year-old Raephy McDowell is NOT a snoop. At least, she doesn't think so. She's mighty curious, though. Who wouldn't be with talk of a brand new town where there's nothing for miles except for the Santa Fe Railroad Station?

Mary Peace Finley's new book is a light-hearted tale of curiousity, ingenuity, and adventure as a train station along with its inhabitants is moved in the middle of the night to become the center of a new town. The book is based on a true story.

Mary Peace Finley is author of the award-winning Santa Fe Trail TrilogySoaring Eagle, White Grizzly, and Meadow Lark.
