One Book One Littleton: Water is for Fightin’
Tuesday, March 18, 6:30 p.m.
In the high and arid West, water determines success and failure, life and death. From the days of early white settlement, the right to use water has been fought over, legislated, debated, and disputed. In Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers, Ralph Moody recalls the threat of violence and conflict he witnessed in the early 1900’s during a dry season, when neighbors turned against each other over water.
Join Professor Michael Welsh to learn about the last 150 years of water law in Colorado, and how it continues to define Colorado’s policies and future.

Active Minds: Water in Colorado
Monday, March 24, 2 p.m.
Water may well become the most disputed natural resource of the 21st century. Population growth, climate change, urbanization and other factors have put increasing pressure on a finite resource. Competing water interests have affected Colorado’s history for over 100 years. The legal right to divert and use water in Colorado has been debated, legislated, and litigated since before the time of statehood in 1876. Join Active Minds as we seek to understand our water history, the current challenges, including the drought in California, and what the future holds for our use of this precious resource.
One Book One Littleton: Ralph Moody’s Littleton
Tuesday, March 25, 6:30 p.m.
Ralph Moody captured a moment of Littleton history. When his family moved to Colorado in 1906, Ralph was just eight years old, Littleton was a small town far removed from the bustle of Denver, and the family was unprepared for the risks and challenges of farming in the arid west.
Little Britches and the books that followed have since become a beloved piece of Littleton culture and lore. Join Littleton Museum curator Jenny Hankinson for a presentation about Ralph Moody’s Littleton through historic images and artifacts from the museum collection.
