The Grand Canyon Historical Society [GCHS] held the 4th Grand Canyon History Symposium on the South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, on November 4-6, 2016.

As one of the many events and presentations held during the 4th Grand Canyon History Symposium, a tour of the nineteen historic boats protected, preserved and housed at the Museum Collection was led by Museum Curator Kim Besom and Grand Canyon River historians, Brad Dimock and GCHS Board Member Tom Martin.

The tour of the park’s collection of historic boats allowed participants to see the nineteen boats that comprehensively illustrate the history of river running on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, with the oldest boat dating back to 1909. Participants got close up views of some of the boats that made history-making trips.

GCHS BACKGROUND: Since January 2002, there have been four history symposia, bringing together historians, witnesses to history, park employees, and others with a passion for Grand Canyon history. The presentations from the first three symposiums were assembled into a collection of essays. It is the Grand Canyon Historical Society’s intent to publish the proceedings from this fourth symposium.
