Lafayette Learns: Welsh in the Colorado Coal Fields

Join the Lafayette History Museum and the Lafayette Public Library for a fascinating look at the role of Welsh workers in the local mining community. Some of the earliest immigrants to the area after Lafayette was founded were Welsh miners, including the Lewis family that lived in the home which now houses the Lafayette History Museum.
Paul Lightsey shares how their stories reflect the evolution of coal mining, the labor movement, and attitudes towards immigrants in the early years of Lafayette.
