Forney Museum of Transportation
The winner of this package will receive four (4) complimentary tickets to the Forney Museum of Transportation located in Denver, CO.
The Forney Museum of Transportation began as the private collection of Mr. J. D. Forney of Fort Collins, CO. From an early age, Mr. Forney had an interest in cars, airplanes, and all modes of transportation. He was born in Enid, Oklahoma, on January 27, 1905. Due to a family breakup, J. D. lived some of his childhood on his Uncle Mert's farm in Missouri. There, he learned how to do a full day's work at an early age, helping with chores. He ran away when he was 14 and was on his own from then on. He knew how to work hard, and delighted in doing a man's work and receiving a man's wages. In January of 2001 the Museum opened to the public in this spacious 140,000 square foot facility. Only 70,000 square feet of space is now being utilized for exhibition and administrative purposes. The remaining space is available for future expansion when funds are available. The entire museum collection, including the train equipment and Big Boy steam locomotive, is now housed indoors.
