What is Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month?
Archaeology & Historic Preservation Month (AHPM) is a celebration of our state’s heritage. The month highlights special preservation projects, archaeological talks and prehistoric or historical sites cherished by local residents and visitors. Events include lectures, the preservation initiatives of local communities, workshops, demonstrations and public displays.
Help spread the word that preserving the past is important. Saving significant prehistoric and historic places ensures that future generations in Colorado will maintain a connection with our shared cultural legacy.
