Brain Trust Lecture: Built on Bones
Advertisement
A frontier murder. A buried judge. A Masonic lodge built over a forgotten cemetery.
Discover one of the most surprising and little-known stories in El Paso history during our next Brown Bag Lecture, Built on Bones. Presenter Caleb Lara, founder of Elevate El Paso and Builders of the Desert, will explore the 1857 death of Judge Gaylord J. Clarke, the disappearance of an early cemetery as the city expanded, and the mystery surrounding human remains found during renovations nearly a century later.
If you attended Caleb's abbreviated presentation in March, this is your opportunity to hear the full story. If you missed it, now's your chance to experience one of El Paso's most compelling historical mysteries.
📅 Wed. Nov. 18 | 12:00-1:00 p.m.
