Turtle Soup | A History and Relocation Attempt of a Railroad Roundhouse in Deadwood

Fidel Martinez-Greer hosts Turtle Soup with A History and Relocation Attempt of a Railroad Roundhouse in Deadwood. This presentation accounts the multidisciplinary efforts on behalf of the Deadwood Historic Preservation Office and the Archaeological Research Center to uncover and preserve a segment of historic railroad infrastructure in Deadwood, SD. The Deadwood Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Roundhouse was one of the stations vital to servicing locomotives traveling through the Black Hills from the late 20th century to the mid-21st century.


Turtle Soup is a weekly lunch and learn program with revolving topics ranging from Indigenous Games of the Midwest presented by Travis Brave Heart to Art & Engineering being presented by Jon Kellar of South Dakota Mines. Each presentation starts with lunch being served at 11:45 PM, followed by a presentation at 12 PM. The local non-profit Fork Real Café partners with The Journey Museum & Learning Center to provide two weekly varieties of soup including a vegetarian option. Immediately following the presentation, a discussion will be held regarding that topic.
