On May 11, 2021, the Telluride Town Council will discuss the future of a storied part of the town where people have been dropping off and finding this and that for years: the Free Box. According to Mayor Delanie Young, the conversation was supposed to happen last May, but the pandemic pushed it back. And this isn’t the first time Town has asked these question. Since its inception over four decades ago, the Free Box has been a site of both discovery and controversy. As next week’s discussion approaches, KOTO took a look back the history of the Telluride Free Box.
