    Do you know this place?—Black History Month edition

    Feb 20, 2019

    Since our nation’s bicentennial in 1976, Americans have recalled and honored the often-overlooked stories and experiences of black Americans during African American History Month. Those looking to discover and celebrate these stories need only explore Colorado’s special places.

    Do you know this place?—January 2019

    Jan 30, 2019

    Colorado's places help tell the story of who we are and what makes our state so special. Our Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation helps Coloradans recognize our state’s most historically significant places through the National Register of Historic Places and the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties.

    In our Do you know this place? blog series, we quiz you on what you might know about these places and then tell you what makes them unique. The place we’re featuring this month represents an important piece of history.
