This years lecture series will explore Colorado women who changed the world, with talks on the creator of the Barbie doll and Emily Griffith, an innovative Denver educator. Delve into environmental lessons gleaned from one small corner of Rocky Mountain National Park. State Historian Emeritus will reveal the hidden histories of Colorado’s official symbols, and Dr. Tom Noel will explain what makes the state so unique. The annual speaker from the Smithsonian Institution will provide an exciting object-based history of the United States. Take a look at  what Colorado’s endangered prairie ecosystems and native environment can gain from an influential new conservation project in Montana.
