Learn how the Ghost Town Club of Colorado preserves and maintains ghost towns, mining camps, and historic sites. Members have been planning, organizing, and leading field trips to these historic places since 1958. They honor significant contributions of many people throughout history by studying, learning from, and preserving ghost towns and the memory of the people who built and lived in them.
Josh’s passion for the West and ghost towns can be attributed to an American Heritage article he read as a child. After earning a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Pennsylvania State University, Josh studied architecture, urban planning, and architectural archeology in Italy and gained a deep passion for the study of the built environment.
He is a Senior Designer at KEPHART Architects, an instructor at the Denver University Enrichment Program, President of Docomomo Colorado, and is known for his talks and activities relating to Preservation and Modernist architecture.
