Honorees will receive a certificate signed by Gov. Hickenlooper, as well as a sign to display on their property. Ed Nichols, President and CEO of History Colorado, and Don Brown, Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture, will present the awards. Families are available for interview after the ceremony.

Since 1986, History Colorado, the Colorado Department of Agriculture and the Colorado State Fair have partnered to administer the Centennial Farms program. This year, the program welcomes a new partner, the Colorado Tourism Office, whose Heritage and Agritourism Program celebrates Colorado’s agricultural roots. Properties with 50-year-old historic structures will receive a Historic Structures Award.
