Museum of Memory began in 2014 with a project in the neighborhood of Eilers Heights in Pueblo, CO as part of a community-driven study. Residents, with an eye towards a possible historical designation for their neighborhood, invited Dawn DiPrince--the Director of El Pueblo History Museum at the time--to hold collective remembering workshops to explore the community's memories of the neighborhood. This project became the foundation of the Neighborhood Memory Projects program at El Pueblo History Museum, which then became the Museum of Memory initiative.
