In honor of Women's History Month, Let's Talk Little. Olga Little that is. Olga Schaaf Little was a renowned jack packer. She saved animals, mines and men. For thirty years she led her burro team with much needed supplies into the La Plata Mountain mines and brought out silver and gold ore, often where men dared not go. Gay Kiene from the Animas Museum will share Olga’s adventurous story. You can view the recording here.

Gay Kiene will reprise this talk in person only at the Durango Public Library on March 29th at 5:30 p.m.
