About Elk River’s

Lecture Series

Each year, our lecture series hosts writers, artists, and innovative thinkers who might not otherwise come to Park County. These presenters spend time working with students at Park High School and give free public lectures and readings. Over the past ten years, we have hosted dozens of lecturers of both regional and national prominence, representing a broad range of genres, including poets, novelists, science writers, memoirists, journalists, visual artists, and historians.

The lecture series goal is to enrich the lives of Park County students and residents with educational, entertaining and edifying opportunities. We offer exciting programs to open our community to new voices and ideas, while we showcase the talent our home ground has nurtured. All lecture series events are free and open to all.
