Moving Day: Colorado’s Migration Story

Students will explore the movement of people across Colorado from prehistory to 1870. By examining community groups, like the Ancestral Puebloans, Mountain Men, Miners, Utes, Plains Indians and Hispanos, students will discover how each group has contributed and influenced life today in Colorado.

Pre-visit material will prepare students for this journey, while post-visit material will synthesize and expand their knowledge.

Pre-visit material will prepare students for this journey, while post-visit material will synthesize and expand their knowledge.
