If you've ever wondered about strange place names around the state, there's a program on that at the Old Colorado City History Center Saturday, Jan. 13 at 11 a.m. The title of the presentation by author/historian Jim Flynn will be “Colorado Place Names - Where They Came From.” Owned and operated by the volunteer Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS), the History Center is at 1 S. 24th St. According to a press release, the program “will include information from Jim's book, 'A Compendium of Curious Colorado Place Names,' which presents place-name origin and derivation from throughout the state.” Admission to the program is free to OCCHS members, $5 for nonmembers. Except for programs, admission to the History Center and its museum/bookstore is free. Winter hours are currently in effect - 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
