Grants Awarded
Canyon Creek Schoolhouse / Little Red Schoolhouse
After 1959, no classes were held at the Canyon Creek Schoolhouse, but the historic building continues to serve Glenwood Springs as a center for public activity.
Built around 1907, the Schoolhouse offered the local ranching community a cultural and academic center essential to the growth of the rural region. Today the building is a venue for weddings, dances, meetings, and other community events, and it illustrates frontier education to visiting school children each year. In order to ensure this building remain intact for years to come, SHF funding will restore the original stone foundation—the first project of a multi-phased rehabilitation venture.
