CKHS hosted their annual luncheon & membership drive on Nov. 15, 2025. There was a record attendance with standing room only to hear a presentation by Jeff & Steve Titchenal. They are the grandsons of the last Sante Fe Railroad agent in Crown King. The presentation included two interesting videos of the railroad history. Copies of their book, The Impossible Switchback Railroad, are available for purchase and local pick up from CKHS. To order a book, send an email to CrownKingHistoricalSociety@yahoo.com.
The 2026 Board of Directors were elected and are as follows: President, Margaret Henningsen; Treasurer, Jennifer Hill; Secretary, Carol Boles; Archivist, Sue Hite; Director, Colleen Lewis. Many thanks to Terri and Bryan Bowles for their technical assistance during the internet presentation. You can find the 2-part documentary film on Youtube by searching Impossible Switchback Railroad.
