• The WPA in Golden (goldentoday.com) — Golden's streets, schools, water system, and even beloved landmarks like the History Museum and School of Mines facilities were dramatically shaped by New Deal WPA projects in the 1930s and early '40s. This retrospective walks through specific Golden improvements, from sewer lines and sidewalks to Central Elementary expansions and Golden Gate Canyon Road upgrades, showing how federal relief work still shapes daily life here.
