And the San Juan County Historical Society has a very nice website of their own with lots of great information here:
San Juan County Historical Society
And a neat annual newsletter (San Juan Courier) that updates the goings on including the addition to the Silverton Mining Heritage Center and plans to restore the Silverton Northen oil house (adjacent to the engine house)... and also build a covered pavilion to store RR cars between the SN engine house and the D&S Silverton depot (both projects in partnership with the Durango Railroad Historical Society (DRHS) as reported here:

I am not sure what these folks in Silverton are smoking
but whatever it is they are on a roll for sure
