WEEKEND LIVE!
Mind the Platte
Today the Platte Valley Trolley embarks on its 22nd year of offering fun, informative rides along the west bank of Denver’s South Platte River. The scenic “Riverfront Ride” is run entirely by volunteers in a replicated 1925 streetcar. Fares are $2-$4. Birthplace of an icon
The Golda Meir House and Museum opens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday for a rare tour and talk with museum founders. The house was moved in the 1980s from west Denver to the Auraria campus, where it now stands in the Ninth Street Historic Park. It holds keys to Meir’s little- known story — from 13-year- old runaway to prime minister of Israel. A minimum $20 contribution for the tour and talk will help support the Golda Meir/Carl Ginn Scholarship Award at Denver North High School.
