With the change in meeting format we want to have mixers at interesting locations. Our first mixer will be hosted by Walter Fullerton at the Fairmount Cemetery, one of Denver's oldest cemeteries.

Founded in 1890, Fairmount is Denver’s third oldest cemetery.  So many milestones of Colorado’s diverse history are represented at Fairmount: the earliest settlers, Veterans, leaders of industry, Civil Rights pioneers, early educators and many more; at every turn the past surrounds you. It is the home to collections of unique art and architecture; impressive examples can be seen in many styles: Victorian, Greek revival, Gothic, Neo-classical, Egyptian and Exotic Revival.  The Fairmount Community Mausoleum is home to the largest collection of stained glass windows in Colorado and Riverside has the largest know collection of zinc monuments in North America.

Date:   Thursday August 24, 2017

Location:   Fairmount Cemetery, 430 S Quebec St, Denver, CO 80247
