Every year the Mount Lowe group take a public excursion to the site of the original Mt. Lowe Tavern, or Ye Alpine Tavern. The Mount Lowe Railway Centenial ceremonies staged at the Mt. Lowe Alpine Tavern by the Scenic Mount Lowe Railway Historical Committee on Saturday, December, 1995, was a proper tribute to Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, David MacPherson and to all the men and women who made the Mount Lowe Railway resort complex a spectacular part of Southern California history. |

There have been several attempts over the years to establish a memorial that befits the wondrous 45 year history of the Mount Lowe Railway. This Centennial Celebration was certainly a day to remember. But it is satisfying to know that earlier this year the National Register of Historic Places saw fit to include the Mount Lowe Railway on its prestigious list. May the dreams of Thaddeus Lowe and David MacPherson live on! |
