And the West is History: Volleyball game at Mesa Verde – ca. 1957

Taken at Mesa Verde National Park over 60 years ago, the backstory of this photograph is unknown. The people depicted may be locals on a group outing to the park, based on other related images from the collection. In the 1950s, Mesa Verde was a popular destination for local high school seniors during their “Senior Sneak Day,” just before their May graduation. – Ed Horvat for Animas Museum, edhorvat@animasmuseum.org (Catalog Number: 15.48.130 from the La Plata County Historical Society Photo Collections).
