Welcome!

My family came to what is now Boulder, Colorado, arriving when Boulder was three months old. My Great-great-grandfather was Carson W. Arbuthnot and with him, he brought his four sons and a son-in-law. Since a little child I have loved the history of this beautiful mountain area, the legacy's of the Natives who were here when my family arrived, and the way our community has grown to what it is today. My blog is dedicated to seeking evidence of all that happened. The good, the bad and the ugly, I will share the evidence of what I find.

I also share Boulder County and Colorado History through entertaining storytelling. Dressed as one of my early Boulder County ancestors, I will make you laugh, smile and sometimes cry as I share the stories of the people who came before us and who established these communities that we enjoy today. Please visit my storytelling and events pages for information on performances.

Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Sincerely,
Donlyn Arbuthnot

March 17, 1942 Diary

Tuesday, 76th Day - 289 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

Marjorie - Una - Darline - Duane and myself went to Littleton today.
All were well there.  Aunt Ione came home with us.
We kept Carol Jane and Darold.  Don and Florence went to Altona Hall to a party.
Darline stayed here.
Cold and windy today.

Margie's parents and her brothers ended up settling just outside of Littleton, Colorado.  Littleton was south west of Denver and could easily be reached by train as well as by car.  

Today Littleton is a thriving community and Margie's great-grandson, Sean lives and works in Littleton, not far from where his Great-Great-grandparents are buried.  It was a lovely community to visit back in 1942, just as it is today.
