The Twentynine Palms Historical Society is continuing their “Fridays at the Museum” lecture series, and they are kicking off 2024 with a look at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
This evening, the Historical Society will present “Crocker’s Folly — The Development of, and Opposition to, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway” by Steve Lech. The now beloved tramway was known for years as ”Crocker’s Folly,” owing to the sustained opposition it faced from the community.
Author and historian Steve Lech will delve into the development of and opposition to the tram project and show how the story has been obscured by time.
Doors open for the lecture at 6:15 p.m. at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, located at 6760 National Park Drive in Twentynine Palms.
