Bergmans in Brighton, CO

The helpful librarians at the Brighton Library referred me to the Colorado History Center at 12th and Broadway downtown.  The drive down there was the usual congestion but this time I saw that the city had vacated all of the homeless folks from downtown park.  That was interesting.  But the interest ended there.  The derelicts and psychopaths were only put on the move, where they now mingle among regular working men and women.  I stopped to get a burger at a place that promised charbroiled but the taste of the meat was wanting.  The History Center referred me to a link titled, Colorado History, a research database called the Stephen H. Hart Research Center.  Here are some collections for St. Clara's Orphanage.  A short but interesting 4-page history of Brighton.  Did not know that it was part of the Louisiana Purchase.

The following pics and bio came from the Brighton Library in a book titled, History of Brighton, CO and Surrounding Area, 1887-1987.  It's $200 on Amazon.
